Here's another Puffin resting with the Daisies on the steep rock face of Latrabjarg Cliff. From 2016.

Sweet perfection with the EXP and the flowers really add. Should this be rotated to vertical? TFS

Hi Bill, very nice capture, not often do you find a sleepy one! EXP is wonderful and as David suggests maybe try a vertical and lose some of the granite, WDYT? Flowers and greenery adds too!

Interesting perspective. Neat and unique! A bit tight in the frame, and I would have tried some in-camera verticals as well (assuming nothing is in the way out of the frame). It looks so cuddly, like a plush toy

Thank you all. I agree this might have been a good candidate for a 4:5 or 5:7 vertical. Unfortunately there was another (OOF) Puffin just above this one, leaving no room for a vertical without some very tricky cloning. I could bring in the sides a bit more but it would make a pretty square format. Here's the Full Frame shot.

Flower add to the frame. Interesting point of view
A bit of eye contact is lacking for me.

Work well though..
