    Hi all,

    Another puffin frame from the Farne Islands. This one was hanging right near the boardwalk and didn't seem bothered by people walking by. Standard LR sliders, cloned out a bit of OOF puffin behind the in focus on around the beak area as well as some peoples reflections in the puffin's eye, and sharpened. Cropped about 10-15%. Light was a bit harsh this day.

    Camera: Nikon D500
    Lens: 200-500mm f/5.6 at 500mm
    Specs: 1/2000 ISO 400 f/8

    Thanks for looking and commenting on prior posts!

    It's a really fine quality image, I think there is a blue cast, I would check color temp and or remove blue at raw conversion.

    Sweet detail, perfect head angle. Possible blue cast, although I know Puffins' faces aren't white.

    A wonderful solid portrait.
    Excellent IQ, wonderful detail everywhere.
    Agree that the light was a bit harsh and would warm image up very slightly,
