Hello Des
A warm welcome from me too. A nice first image, great colour and I like the movement in its wings. A very impressive web site presentation too.
Best wishes

Welcome, and a very nice picture to start. I agree that it needs a little more sharpening. I might also clone out the white bits in the top right which draw my eye out of the picture and away from the bird.
Excellent website!

Welcome, a nice first posting, a little more USM and as Jeremy says get rid of the 'clouds' top right and it is a first class image, I might also be tempted to darken the darker plumage in the lower half of the body, just that it looks a bit 'strange' as presented, does that make sense?

Very good puffin picture, I do like the blurr in the wingtips.

Welcome Des - nice post, nits covered, and a very impressive website too - that chameleon image looks a tad familiar, the Tamron ad if I'm not mistaken :wavey:
