Like the simplicity of the image. The light is starting to get a little harsh, but you've got a good exposure here. Like how the bird stands out against the beautiful blue BG.

Sweet lokking image Axel, I really like the bg and the detail you got out of the whites and blacks.
Axel you bring back home very good images. This guy is posing like a statute. I like the exposure job and the sweet Bg.
Axel;
As mentioned, the BG really strengthens this image, softens the effect of the contrasty light.
You are really killing me with the puffins!
Randy
Beautifull! I really love the blue background
Really beautiful Axel. I also love the BG. Details looks great!!
What a pose. Great flashwork, and in turn, great exposure to go with it too. I like the overall colours in this, and he certainly does stand out against the BG. Well captured Axel.
Sweet image. Bg is very nice. I don't say rotation is needed as you know your settings but looking at the image I have a feeling for a CW rotation. Bird doesn't look to be balanced.

Certainly does look good. The blues are of a very nice hue. Good job handling the light with this black and white subject!
Hi Axel:
Love the gentle GB on this one. Great use of fill. It really did wonders to balance out the black and whites. How pray tell did you get a flash through that hole in those hides? Is there a trick to it?
Marina
Yes, the trick is portrait mode and the relatively small 300f/4 lens. :)Originally Posted by Marina Scarr
Flash did helped and lighting ended up stunning! Great pose, nice perch lovely BG, beautifull colors and the one thing I miss is a catchalight. Congratulations!
looks like one of those royal guards in London who stand motionless all day :)
lovely flashwork, exposure and colour Axel!
Fabulous image Axel.
Love everything in this one especially the pose of this guy.
Gorgeous Axel - love the little guy against the blue BG :)
All round fine image - I like the composition and exposure control.
The BG is real nice, does it need a slight CW rotation or is it just me?
Thanks, Art! Gyorgy suggested rotation, too. I'll check the RAW file if it looks like it because of the waves in the BG or if it needs some rotation.
Excellent composition, Axel. Love the simplicity. Exposure and the details makes this a standout composition.
Striking portrait, you had very nice weather I can see, no rain and fairly soft light.
Big congrats!
Another fine image from your Machias trip, Axel. Not the easiest place to manage, you used all your tricks and tools to make things work.
Stunnning subject captured here Axel, comp works very well and you have handled the exposure very well...congrats
Great image Axel, beautifully exposed and nice crop.. loved the pose and details.. Congrats..
do you feel the eye need to be brightened..
Beautiful bird and a stunning pose and lovely colours. Well exposed and I like the blue BG

Looks great to me Axel. Love the pose and flash work is superb. I would be careful with the rotation as often waves come in to shore at an angle. :)
You're "killing" me with those Puffins...
BG is stunning, very well exposed.
Don't know if it was possible, but I would try a lower angle.
These Puffins sure are photogenic and you have used the opportunity well.
The colour balance is fantastic.
