Puffin
Taken at the same place as the Razorbill (Skye). I really wish I could have got lower down on the rocks, but hey maybe next time.

D3 600mm 1/500@F8 -1 EV ISO 1600 Polarizer

Really excellent Colin,

Possibly just prefer this to the razorbill image, but both are cracking shots with a difference :toast: :toast:

Great shot and I doubt you would see feet with a lower PoV. I think we get a bit hung op on low viewpoints. Sometimes a higher one can add more to a picture than it takes away. You only have to look at John's pool shots to see that.

Hi Colin,

Excellent shot. I really like the composition and colours. The texture of the water is fantastic.
