Nicki, It was such a pleasure to finally meet you. I have been such a fan of your work. This came out really nice and the high-key look puts it over the top!:)

[Nicki Gwynn Jones]

Thanks so much for your very kind words Denise, I so enjoyed meeting you too! How about a trip to the UK? I do have puffins you know...:D...and a spare room...:)

Hi Nickie, I like the pose and composition, but personally this is a little too high-key for my tastes. Would like to see more detail on the light areas of the bird, especially the head.

[Nicki Gwynn Jones]

Hi Christopher,
Thanks so much for your comments. Actually I think that this image works much better as a print - you can see more detail in the pale areas - always difficult to present this kind of image on a screen!!
Best regards,
Nicki

Hi Nicki Creative and interesting to say the least !! I can see how it would look best in a print, all monitors display whites different !!!

.... btw you were not always standing ... as a mater of fact you were hardly standing ... check out F&F in a couple of minutes !!!

[Nicki Gwynn Jones]

Hi Al,
Am really enjoying the post in F&F....you are right, not much standing going on!!!!
Hugs,
Nicki

You have outdone yourself in this one, girl, way to go!

Very nice Nicki, I might try a different crop to put the bird out of the center. Great job on the blur.

Hi Fabs and Jackie!
Thanks so much for your very kind words. Jackie, I must admit that I have had some trouble with this crop - am still experimenting!
Best,
Nicki
