Puffin (Fratercula arctica)
Up close and personal! I have long waited to get a close up of a puffin so that it was viewed through the vegetation, not exactly what I wanted but it will have to do for this year.

Nice idea, Probably a bit too close for my taste, and could do without the oof plant over the wing. The gods sure had fun with the design of this bird.
hi Jon .... this is such a nice image from the technical pov.
mindfully processed with the finest detail rendered .... love it .
i do not mind the oof flowers .... just the crop is borderline . too tight on the rhs for my taste or not tight enough .

Hi Jon, I think the bird looks wonderful especially for me who has never seen one real life. A joy to examine. I like the flowers, detail and colors. Thank you for sharing.

Sharp on the face with a perfect head angle. I agree on way too tight and this one does not do much for me as the flowers seem to detract more than they add.
with love, artie
