Great flight shot Ron. The detail is excellent, especially noted in the larger version, and nice job with the background.

Quite spectacular, Ron; although I am seeing some strange artifacts along the left of the frame. It appears as though there are ghost images of the wing tips. Looks like it could be easily fixed however.

Great flight shot, Ron. I really like the angle and the light is fantastic. Very well done. I do see what looks like a cloning artifact mentioned above.

Ron,
Seeing Puffins always makes me smile because the colors and facial markings they have are clown-like. Cloning issues noted as mentioned but that should not be difficult to repair. I like the spread of the wings, the food in the bill and the landing pose. There is a thin halo around some parts of the puffin, those too should be easy to fix. The colors of the puffin are quite appealing to me.
