Another puffin photo from my Machias Seal Island trip in Maine.
There weren't that many spots that provides a distant green background with yellow flowers for the puffin landing, as the puffins usually land very quickly on the rocks against the sky background, or the grass was too close to provide a good separation. I wish the light was more direct on the puffin's eye to create a catchlight but well they never land on where I wished, especially when the blind I was in had just that little opening.
I wonder if portrait or landscape works better. I cropped some space to the right to make it portrait. Please let me know what you think. Thanks! I chose the portrait as there were more yellow flowers in the bottom part of the photo. And I think they look cool.
