Awesome!! Everything is perfect, as usual! For me, the puffins are perfect photo subjects with those outrageous colorful bills and dramatic face pattern.
Alan:
Lovely bird, good techs, like the comp.
I assume you used some fill flash here?
Cheers

The bird is so clean and the saturation of colors on the beak is just awesome.
It has a "flash" look. Maybe use a bit less flash. Otherwise, beautiful as usual.
This is totally mesmerizing. superb on all tech to me.

What a wonderful portrait. I love the comp. No nits from me,

Great exposure and fine details. Nice BG as well though I might tone down the bright spots. Well done.
Looks like flash to me too. Love the pose, the tuft, and the framing. WHITEs could use a bit more detail. A Linear Burn would likely help.

Top class exp. IQ is mind blowing and the BG is silky smooth...Big fan of your work!
Great shot Alan, first I've seen of the tufted in headshot format.I agree with Art, the whites could get a little more detail. The image is sharp and clear, great BGD.
