Incoming Puffin
From last years trip to Newfoundland, Elliston. Good place for puffins from shore, it is a reach since all will be 600 2X for a full frame but lot of action .... if there is no fog !!! Can't wait to get back at them again !!!!
Comments welcome and much appreciated

This is very cool! Great pose, exposure control and a nice BG, too. I'm glad you had a great camera at your disposal. :)
Al, Nice capture of that very important landing moment! Geat BG having some texture adds depth. But you know all that! Bob

cool capture!!! i think you have some very capable equipment for this trip!!!:D and i hope you get tons of keepers!!!
Looks like he dropping down from nowhere. Love the wing spread and the dangling feet. Nice White exposure on the belly side.
I can relate to that! Considering it was with a 600 and a 2X very well done.good detail, nice colors, good action.
Wonderful pose with the wings swept back. Otherwise perfect!

What a great pose. Love the hanging in the air feel. Nicely colored as well.

Love this Alfred. Great flight pose and everything elso that goes into a perrrrrfect image < smile > Can wait to see what you and Fab will get this next trip !!!!
I like this a lot, Alfred. Great pose, very sharp, good detail in the whites and blacks, and a very nice background. I hope to see these birds myself someday. :)
Congrats on an excellent photo Al!
Love it AL - gotta see these puffins some day.
Great timing and very beautiful done. ( My dream is to be in Newfoundland)
Perfect amount of wing blur. I find that without it, birds hanging in the air without a hint of motion look kind of odd.
I really like the pose and the wing position!!!
Awesome picture, great pose.
Hey Al,
Not bad, it was certainly fun.
The puffins images we are shooting here in Iceland are amazing. Hope to see you in '08.;)

Fantastic capture Mr. Al;
I like that landing position. Excellent details and vibrant colors...:D
Dang Al,
600mm and a 2X sweet!
The sharpness and exposure are outstanding.
And while I like the image the way it is, I am offering a different crop.
Just food for thought.
James
