    Took this on a recent trip to Maine. They are very interesting birds. Thanks for looking.

    What a beautiful capture...I could not get such an Image where bird is posing alone when I visited the Island...TFS.

    Great shot with lovely pose, nice background and catchlight in the eye. I think the composition works even though the bird is in the middle, as it is symmetric. The only thing I wish is to tune down the color/saturation a little bit on the beak and feet to make them less red/orange. Overall a fantastic image, very nice details on the wings too. I was at the island in early July and it was so much fun.

    Super pose and HA, and the central placement is the only way to go here. I like the underwing detail, together with the lichen on the rock. The BG may be a touch oversaturated, but I feel it fits this colourful character.

    A fantastic pose. A little saturated for me, and I would add some black to the midtones. Wish it was mine.

    Great pose and you did very well with exposure with nice details on the belly and underwings. The oranges on feet and beak look good to me; however, I find the greens in the BG a tad oversaturated.

    Love the comp and the symmetrical wing position. The colors are a tiny bit oversaturated but it works because he is such a colorful and fun bird.

    Nice pose on the puffin. I agree with Alan on adding black to the midtones and maybe desaturate the greens and the orange feet.
