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 ....

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.

Decent. He would have been incoming if you had the right wind.
