a great shot, lovely colours and what a mouthful. I would perhaps prefer the point of focus to be on the bird's eyes rather than on the beak/fish but still an excellent image.

Only nit is mentioned. Very nice one of this wonderful bird I saw myself last year for the first time.

Well done.

Like it as is but do feel that a touch more DoF would have helped the impact.... super birds to photograph...

the depth of field doesn't bother me at all here, the focus only being on the sandeels instead of the eye as well makes them and the bill the centre of attention, an interesting effect that i think you have pulled off excellently

Nice shot and one that I would think works either way, depending on what story you are telling.

A wonderful shot, nice to see a successful puffin, ours catch to many pipe fish.

I agree that the eyes do not need to be sharp as the meal is the main focus.

All the best
