Their coloration and patterns really lends them to this semi-abstract rendering. Excellent symmetry and use of blocks of color. :toast:

Never having been within a thousand miles of a puffin, I generally can recognize them only in profile. The countenance of the puffin makes the picture, but it relies on the foggy green foreground blending into the perfect blue background for it's success. This little photographic nugget puts a little smile in my brain.

What a fabulous and very unique image of a puffin Edwin! I might only suggest a little crop from the top.

Cool image. I like the head, the symmetric pose and how the fuzzy green FG blends into the sky. That crop with a lot of sky works well for me.

Very unusual shot. You must be pleased with all your Puffins.

Dead on straight! Great look at this bird's mouth! Low pov makes the shot. Sharon
