Hello my darlings...;)
Sorry to report that the internet connection is still gravely ill at this end :(:( - do you think that it would be easier to live in a cave....:)? At least I was able to get a few moments this evening to post comments - I really miss talking to you guys every day - you're my new best friends - maybe I should get out more :D:D:D.
Here is another puffin from my first Skomer trip in May.
Canon 40D 100-400 @ 400mm
AV F8 1/1250 sec
ISO 400
Pattern metering -0.7 exp comp
Cropped to ensure a different kind of puffin experience....
Al, I hope you've found those puffins by now - I'm expecting great things from you, my friend!!!
Best and love to all - here's hoping for a return to the 21st century quite soon:cool:.

nicki. you do puffins and you do puffins well!!!! love the detail in the bird and the nest building material in its mouth. might would like to see just a tad bit more canvas on the left!! great job!! love these guys!!!
Nikki, beautiful image. I like the feather details you've captured here, and the nesting material in his mouth. A little more canvas on the left might work, as Harold said.
Welcome back stranger; I was beginning to think that you don't love us any more. This is an excellent capture Nicki. I like it the way it is. Just one little thing, clean up the blemish or stain mark on his cheek...:eek::eek: we can tell what he had for lunch...:D;):p:):cool:
I think it is a tad close on the left side of the frame Nicki, but that is a personal opinion. You have done the Puffins up nicely. Please keep posting them.
Peekaboo Puffin...
