Flying Puffin

[Krijn Trimbos]

Still busy moving to my new place. It takes so much time. But could find some minutes to post process this image that I took this summer in Ireland. I liked the the wingposition and brown rock BG. Hope to join you on a regular basis again soon.

See ya and thanks for watching,

More noise reduction introduced banding issues so I kept it like this.

[Dave Blinder]

Great timing, HA, exposure, and comp. Noise doesn't bother me. Great capture.

[Geraldo Hofmann]

Great shot, if you have canvas below I would try to pu the bird a little bit higher... but a really nice shot showing a lot of action.

Excellent flight pose, lovely BG, SH and colors, well done.

[Axel Hildebrandt]

Cool pose and good BG. I also like the dangling feet. If it were mine I might put the bird a tad higher in the frame and remove the color noise in the underwing areas.

[Ian Mason]

Looks great to me Krijn. Noise isn't an issue ahd the detail is excellent.

[David Hemmings]

I think thew image is perfect as is. The noise is so little that it is not an issue imo. Fantastic capture all around!

[Arthur Morris]

SH, with a nice off-centered subject. Where in Iceland?

[Brian Barcelos]

The birds posture is perfect here and I love the BG, makes the Puffin really stand out. I agree with sticking him higher in the frame. Congrats

[Morkel Erasmus]

great pose, exposure, colours and BG. hope to get a puffin shot like this one day (in fact just to get A puffin shot would be good ;))

[Marc Mol]

I love the way the Puffin enters the image, feet down is great, BG too. Another vote for adding some lower canvas.

[Kiran Poonacha]

Very beautiful Image indeed, space issue covered,but nice comp, pose, details and light.. congrats..

[Danny Laredo]

Great banking angle, and just love the detail and colours on their heads. Pops so well from the BG. Well captured.

Thanks Krijn, I think that I was there on the Wild Britain trip but we went to so many great places with puffins that I am not positive....

[David Fletcher]

Cracking shot Krijn. Noise def' not an issue. Just want to add my respects as all been said.
