Atlantic Puffin

[gail bisson]

I was going through some old files and found this one from Iceland 2017.
As is usual for Iceland- a cloudy day!
The BG is the ocean-I was shooting from a cliff.

Canon 1 DX 600mm
SS 1/2500 f 5.6 ISO 1600
About 65% FF.
Nothing added or cloned.
Comments and critiques always appreciated and learned from with thanks,
Gail

Gail:

I like the angle in frame with good view of both wings, flying drops, bright orange feet, the typical sad clown face.

If lighting would have allowed, a bit more dof would have been nice for the wings.

The grey day OOF ocean really makes this beauty pop. Love the details and colors and especially the water drops, both the flying ones and those on the stomach. TFS

Stunning. Love the flight angle and wings-up position. How many more of these gems are buried in your files?

[John Mack]

Looking good. Nice flight pose with a excellent background. The detail in the blacks and whites are nice.

Simply great, Gail. You captured this speedster perfectly. Like the drops of water clinging to the underside and trailing behind.

Killer frame Gail..enough said. Where's the Bee-eater in flight shot from Oxley Creek Common?

[David Salem]

One of my lifer frames! I love these guys! Looks great and I really like the pose and details. I need to get together with you guys to shoot these sometime, soon:). Maybe a third increase in exposure and punch up the saturation a bit? Either way, looks awesome.
