    The little "bed" with the flowers surrounding the puffin looks beautiful.
    Light was a bit harsh but the blacks and whites still look great.
    Nice to see the little bit of leg.
    Sweet image. I am OK with the HA but think I would prefer less tilt downwards for a clearer view of the eye.

    The flowers are a nice touch. The pose and background are very nice.

    Setting and bird look fantastic William. Beautiful soft feather details. Lighting is a touch harsh but still a very nice frame.

    Great capture in harsh light, William. Like the bed of purple Thrift flowers, and the fine feather detail. Well done.
