Hi Gail,
Glad you had a productive trip. Cloudy isn't so bad when you're in Iceland. This capture is spectacular, and you have gotten a beautiful wings up, and great head angle. I agree with you re the background. Welcome home, and can't wait to see more frames form Iceland.

I love the BG, the look back pose (with very nice upper and lower wing details) and great job with the eye. Always love to see the pupil. Looking forward to more. TFS

Welcome home, Gail. Glad you had a good trip and decent weather. Love the flight pose, head turn and background. Eager to see more from the trip.

Good call dodging the eye as it would have been rather dark. Excellent pose here with a perfect head turn too. The orange bill and feet add colour. Glad the trip turned out well!

One of many beauties you shot in Iceland Gail, well done here, the pose, the details throughouot the balcks and whites and the lovely soft BG w just enough color to add to those gorgeous colorful puffin features. No noticeable noise and just enough lift on the eye, looking forward to many more posts, goodness knows we shot non stop for 2 weeks and with 24 hours of light, thats a heap of files!

Look back very nice... Feet are maybe a bit hot... orange in BG adds a lot.

The look back makes this one. Neat how you have the under side of one wing and the top of the other. Background is pretty sweet as well.

Nice looking frame....The HA is perfect for that flight pose, flying away from us. The BG looks fabulous.

Unusual and slightly unconventional landing pose but it works due to the head turn. I would never have guessed about the eye work, but the reds and oranges look a little over saturated to my eye

No worries Gail, if you've not touched sliders, then its either accurate to the conditions at the time or a lightroom preset has added something. Either way, the RP looks like a subtle improvement to me
Looking forward to all the shots from Ann and yourself

Excellent, Gail. Great sharpness against a lovely background. Pose you caught during descent (if it is descent!) is fantastic, nice perspective.

Really nice, Gail! Look-back pose is great and the cliff nicely complements the subject without overpowering it. You also managed to stop the action nicely given the somewhat challenging lighting conditions. These guys flap really fast! The toenails are a nice touch as well.

Excellent in-flight shot. The head turn is great. Detail looks very good on the body need got a little bit of a wing blur. Wish I could see the aisle little bit better. I might also crop 5% in from the right side but that is matter of taste

Hi Gail, excellent overall exposure, and I like the feather detail on the wings. Good head turn looking for a place to land/perch. I believe these guys are pretty quick in the air, so well captured.

Beautiful image Gail, I love the dramatic look of the sky. Subject is sharp with nice detail, love the colours. Well framed and well exposed, nicely processed too!
I like this as presented, such a pleasure to view - thank you so much for sharing!
Kind regards,
