Atlantic Puffin in flight

[gail bisson]

I never get tired of looking at puffin image! I have so many that I want to post but try to space them out so as to not get "viewer fatigue"!!
Iceland 2019
Canon 1 DX
600m v3 1.4 x v3
ISO 1600 F 6.3 SS 1/2500
Cropped to 70% FF. Nothing added or cloned.
I desaturated the orange slightly.
Comments and critiques always appreciated and learned from with thanks,

OOps I see a couple of dust spots. Apologies for missing them.

Very nice indeed Gail the puffin colours look very true to life and I like the background. the top right corner may not be liked so much by a number of viewers but I don't mind it at all, it appears perfectly natural.

Hi Gail. Another winner! Well exposed and sharp. BG contrasts well with the bird. Loving your images!

Interesting Image. Bird has lot of space to move in. Background and colors look nice.

I would have applied a little but of dodging on the face.

Hi Gail,

This just another stupendously great capture. I love that the Puffin is adjusting his left wing ahead of the right slightly, as he's looking down and a bit to his left. Nice full beak and good clear view of feet.

Awesome exposure for blacks and whites, super sharp with tons of detail and the subject is classic. I never get bored of these... Keep them coming... Only wish dark streak in upper right frame was gone but love it as is. TFS

Love the pose on the bird. Looks like it is falling. The background is spot on. Nice detail on the bird with a good view of those eels.

I like that dynamic pose, BG and the fish! good details. the image shows a slight green cast on my screen the face could go a bit brighter.
