Puffin in flight

[Mike Poole]

I don't think we've had any puffin shots posted for a while ...

Anyway, an early morning one from Skomer - got a bit of grief from the other overnighters for an early start (shared dorm!) but I think it was worth it after being rewarded with nice light.

Mike super shot wings down, beak full, nice BG and sharp, very nice.

Nice flight shot love all the fish and that nice light blue background.

So nice Mike. Great wing position and I like the varied background. Maybe there is a little more details that you can pull out of the face?

This is great Mike.
I especially like the two toned BG. Most of my puffin shots in flight have grey ocean in the BG.
Great that he has fish in his mouth- always a bonus!
Tack sharp and good exposure.
I would be thrilled to have this in my portfolio,

Lovely. Really digging these Puffins. Gotta find a way to put them in my VF one day! Thanks for sharing.

[Jonathan Ashton]

A fine shot Mike, the early morning light has afforded greater saturation.

Gorgeous image Mike. What a superb flight shot of the Puffin. Great BG too. Well done sir.
