    Nice one Will, lovely BG.
    I like the detail on the leg and foot.
    You have a lot of DOF here, was it a biggish crop?

    Hi Will a very cool landing pose of the gorgeous subject .
    Image does look very good , nice control of the tones and the colors look good ... personally would push them a bit more . But no deal breaker .
    Nice details and sharp where it counts .

    Just wish the landing was more turned towards the viewer ....

    TFS Andreas

    Will I love the detail on this look at that near foot, leg. First thing I noticed was the HA but I'm ok with it just a perfect puffin landing IMO. You have captured the details and the puffins perspective. TFS

    Super shot Will, I like as presented but understand the suggestion of a little more pop.

    Hi Will you did well with the exposure, looks quite bright at the time of shooting. Good detail overall and a clean BKG, the brighter light might flatten the colours a little? A slight turn towards the viewer would have been better.

    Thanks for the comments guys. Much appreciated. Hi Colin. This is about 80% of the original. Hi Steve, I was thinking that about the HA as well. I thought, although the bird is slightly flying away, the HA and the angle of the feet weren't. You know how awkward they fly.
