The Puffin Discovers that Humans are not Waterproof afterall..

[Nicki Gwynn Jones]

Hi All,
Another puffin from Skomer last June. He seems suitably amused to see so many photographers out in the rain...:eek::eek:
40D 100-400 @ 400mm
AV F8 1/250 sec
ISO 400
Very poor light, raining and windy...
Look forward to your c & c's!
Best regards to all,
Nicki

Lady Nicki,

As always, just perfect. Exposure and the way you framed it is just great.
I think we might have to take you up on the offer, but first you might have to come over this winter for some Florida birds!!!!

[Jill Davis]

How cute is this. Awesome shot. Congratulations on this one!!

[Jackie Schuknecht]

I have never seen this angle shot of a puffin before. They look so comical. You did a great job of the final pic considering the conditions you were shooting in.

[Alfred Forns]

Real Sweet Nicki !!! Love that open mouth !!! ... regarding the little flower fine to include but do give it a little room, it is an important element. Big Congrats !!!

[Lance Peters]

Hi Nicki - this must be the Gordon Ramsay Pose. Beautiful shot - love the pose.

Well done.

[Nicki Gwynn Jones]

Hi Al,
I've had a go at adding some canvas at your suggestion. Is this OK?? Please be brutal...:eek:
Thank you so much as always for your help and encouragement.
Best regards,
Nicki

Fantastic shot Nicki. The added canvas works well for me.

[Ian McHenry]

Hi Nicki
I'm another big Puffin fan only seen by me @ Bass Rock at North Berwick in Scotland.
Really like the 2 points of interest and space with Alfred's suggestion.
Well done. You have captured the essence of this bird.
