I'm not sure this is what Stu had in mind for the fine feather theme, but this guy gave me a smile as he posed for a close-in portrait, allowing some fine detail. From the top of Iceland's Latrabjarg cliff in July.

Looks great to me Bill. A beautiful portrait with great feather details. Exposure is spot on. Whites look good and I like the varied background as well.
Hi Bill, excellent IQ here, and I feel you have the overall exposure spot on. All the colours stand out very well, and the Puffin is nice and sharp too.
Fine portrait of a favourite bird, beautiful handling of blacks & whites complimented by the showy colours of bill, eye and tongue.
The smooth background ain't bad either.
