    Man would I love to have a go at shooting puffins one day. I have only seen Atlantic Puffin one time and is was in the late 90's!!! I like that you got it walking and of course the mouth full of food. Details on the bird look very nice. But I think you have too many things working against you on this one. Too much area of out of focus rocks in the foreground are not helping, the hidden feet, and the harsh sun that caused some bad shadows.

    I like the pose and the sand eels as well, but generally agree with Isaac that the harsh light and hidden feet are hard here. The blue of the BG and brown of the rocks works well together, just tough conditions to shoot in. TFS
