    Wonderful image of a Puffin. When I see an image with the bill overflowing with fish I always wonder how they can catch and hold so many at a time. I like everything about the image, nicely done. I can't help but wonder if a higher setup might have shown the feet better. Thank you for sharing, Jon.

    Hi Jon, always nice to see a Puffin bill full of Sandeels.

    Have you thought about flipping the image? Good control of the chest whites and detail. Not sure about the artifacts around the bottom RHC along the stones and I would always check for the odd Dust Bunny, or two in the sea BKG . Good to know you had a good time.

    TFS

    Lovely!
    Hi Mike it's always good in feedback replies to 'expand' and know why you like or dislike an image, or if there is room for improvements, etc, in that way we can all benefit from everyones thoughts & help on a posting. It doesn't have to be too in-depth, complicated or technical, but it all helps.

    cheers

    It is a beautiful image The whites look about perfect on my monitor with fine detail. I have never seen one in person but it is on the bucket list. TFS.

    Really nice one -- great detail in the whites and the mouthful is great. I hope I get something this nice with these guys. Never realized they had a grey patch around their legs until this pic. Nice exposure on the eye. Love that we can see the fish's eyes as well. TFS
