A rich detailed image of my favorite specie. No REALLY, the fine detail in the scars of the beak and the feathers is simply amazing. Light falling perfectly on the front of the face. Possibly the best puffin portrait I have seen.

Excellent portrait. Great detail, light and color palette. Would be interesting to see it in a vertical format.
