    Not often (in Iceland) do you get an opportunity to shoot with the sun out. It is usually cloudy.
    This is almost FF. Nothing cloned or added.

    About as perfect as it gets. Good depth of field, pure background, nice head turn, wonderful colors and detail... lovely image. Thank you for sharing, Gail.

    Ditto all the positives below. I can never get enough of these beauties and that ocean made for a beautiful BG. TFS

    Very nice indeed Gail, i think it looks great, my only very minor reservation is the right forewing is carrying some blue, if that is removed well bingo!

    Excellent. I love the texture in the dark feathers across the back, and the hanging pose. Agree on the blue in the left wing and maybe could do with a little eye work.

    Wow! Gail that is just about the most perfect shot I could imagine and we don't have to have all those fish. Action, perfect light, wonderful colour and execution .That new lens is going well.

    Looking very nice Gail...I really love the BG colours. Nice flight pose, and details on the Puffin. Good control of the whites and blacks.

    Well captured, Gail. Nicely handled blacks and whites, and those grayish face feathers. Particularly like the raised feathers on his back.

    Really like the pose on this one. Nice water background as well. Nice and sharp.
