Hi Steve
I love this Puffins, even if it is just sitting on a rock. Nice detail and color.

Thanks Peter, a group isn't a problem, I just wanted to have an isolated one for a change.

A nice study in shapes - I like all the curves in the puffin and the rock.

Nice capture and composition. As Rich saysm the curves are interesting. And nice work on the whotes and blacks.

'And nice work on the whotes and blacks'.

Thanks Jim, it's purely down to a well exposed image/reading the Histogram and controlling Contrast. A subject few folk teach enlightened

Steve, this is a fine portrait. Details of the face are impressive in the big image. Well exposed, nice soft light, and well framed. I like the natural setting and the bokeh of the BG. Good work!

Nice exposure and natural colors in this Steve. Also great choice to stop down to f/11.
