Meet & Greet

Another of the images from my visit to the Puffin Colony in July. These Atlantic Puffin were getting reacquainted and I was able to fire off a few shots of their meeting. The weather conditions were challenging during the entire shoot-which lasted about an hour, but I was happy to have had the opportunity to capture and experience the puffins, regardless of the conditions.

Wonderful interaction and a beautifully exposed photograph, Chuck. I like the composition with all the birds leading to a peak. Well done.

Wonderful group photo. Feels like it could use a little more contrast.

That's neat to catch the 2 birds touching the other one with their beaks Chuck, the bird in the lower left detracts a little bit but nothing you can do with it. Cool shot. :toast:

Terrific catch Chuck. I respectfully disagree about the bird on lower left, think the total composition works well.
