    This fellow was bringing lunch to his (her?) nest in a rock crevice. Toned down highlights and removed oof rock in BG; levels adjustment, NR and USM. Desaturated red channel a little, maybe not enough? C&C appreciated.

    Love the raised foot and the beak full of fish. He/she has seven fish, only less than the maximum capacity. Great picture, Bill.

    Love the raised foot and the food. I am thinking, at least on my monitor, a little more desat might be in order.

    Love the walking pose Bill, and I like the placement of the puffin in the frame. The beak full of fish puts this up a notch. The reds look fine to me.

    Now that's an impressive meal! Reds look good on my monitor. The sun angle was less than ideal; you did well with your exposure. I might remove the whitewash on the rock. And I would have liked a slight head turn towards you.

    Parent in work, nice action shot. Maybe a bit tight in the top and bottom for my taste but I like it a lot.
