After a strong rain, where all the puffins were hiding in their nests, they came out into the sun, shaking and preening, and then they ran to the cliffs and started fishing in the sea again.
Good job of capturing the peak of action. The head is turned away from you and the rock/horizon line is in the center of the image dissecting the subject... Low is good but lower is often better.

Love the height of action in mid run!!! The exposure looks spot on as well. I agree with Lance; wish we had these beauties in Florida! Thanks for sharing yours!
This image really makes me smile. :) I like the angle since you would have lost the puddle otherwise. The running pose is unique, I only wish for more head turn toward you, but then the puffin had better watch where he is going.
