Stocking up
Although the fish were not big, plenty of them would be good :)
Gull's Island, Witless Bay.

i'm sure you'll hear 'more noise reduction on background'. personally, i don't mind it too much.
very nice composition Fabs. nice to see something other than caplin in the puffin's beak for a change! ever shot i have of one with feed is caplin only. it's also a bonus that this little guy/gal has a shrimp or krill in his catch along with the fish!
i wonder if the bird could stand a little more contrast? seems the head is a little dull? maybe that's just me?
i would also remove the single piece of grass exiting the frame on the lower left.
love all your and Alfred's Newfoundland images Fabs! the make me wait anxiously for next summer! :)
all the best.

Quite a mouthful. :) I really like the setting, composition and BG. I might sharpen the bird a bit more and run NR on the BG.
Love it Fabs! Great eye contact (all 20 of them)! Exposure is perfect. I like the composition with all the round shapes (foreground, body, and head).
Upcoming Workshops: Bosque del Apache 2019, Ecuador 2020 (details coming soon)

Agree with all the above and would have liked very much a little more room on the right side, thanks for sharing this moment.

A really good looking guy!
Love the way he is looking at the camera but feel sorry for those poor little fishes.
Love puffins and this is a fine image.. Still would love to go to this location...
Lovely shot Fabs, now here is the bit I reckon I learn't from you and Al........ i would suggest the blacks would benefit from a little Selective Colour and the image would Pop!! Do you agree?

superb as always Fabs... wonderful!
The detail, colours and markings on that head are amazing. Not to mention a beak full of fish. Great image Fabs.
