Tough birds to photograph in flight; you did well with exposure and sharpness. I'd remove some canvas from the top of the frame and add a bit on the right.
Hi Austin,
Impressive sharpness!! I binned most of my flight shots from Skomer last year...
For me the image is a little dark - although the whites look great - perhaps a contrast boost.
Best,
Nicki
The Puffin is nicely exposed on both blacks and whites, and if you could lighten the BG, he would pop a little more. Doug's suggestion on the comp would work well.
Sharp with a decent EXP. Wing position would be OK with the bird much larger in the frame.... Best to try for these on mega-windy days.....
