    Puffin from Gull Island Witless Bay Newfoundland. With the permit we were able to land on the island for one morning and sure was a good time. Most of the flight images were high key but did manage some like these when they zoomed by the trees. Difficult to track. Posted an image in Friends and Family of the landing at the Island and will be posting some others ... worth taking a look !!!

    Comments welcome and much appreciated

    Hi Al,
    Just a great flight photo! Fabs is a great teacher! :) :) Yes?
    Personally I would like to have the bird somewhat lighter to make it "pop" out of the BG a little.... wish I were there!!
    Best,
    Michael

    This is one beautiful image. I love everything about it but especially the light on the feet and the complimentary orange bits in the beautiful background. I must be the only photographer in the world without an Atlantic Puffin.
