Early Morning Puffin

Last image from a recent seabird trip - before the next one next week that is!!

Wanted to make a slightly ethereal feel to this one through use of soft-focus foreground - that and trying to make sure I didn't fall over the cliff-edge I was dangling on!!

40D, 500mm and 1.4x convertor, f4, 1/125, ISO400

This is gorgeous, I really like it. I'd like a little more space on the left, but it's still great as it is. A bit different, which is good.

Hi Mark,
Lovely shot, this must be a girl puffin, I'll post the boy version thanks to blue bells.
Nice one.

Tim

Works great Mark!!

Beautiful shot

Alan

Again a different looking image that seems to work. Just a slight pity that one of the pink blooms is in front of the birds head.

Major.

Really lovely shot, but as Major said, shame that the puffin's head has been softened too.

I like to see something different. This is it. Works really well. Nice colours and I love that pinky scene.
Well done.

Edwin Kats

Very nice and different puffin image Mark. Nit covered previously

Robert

Hi Mark a very nice image.

Phil.

I really like this too, a Puffins eye view of a Puffin, a fresh look at a subject is far better than the many stale old fashioned production line images that we so often see!

Hello Mark

When did you get the time to process some images I liked this one on the back of your screen and it looks belting here, cracking shot.



Danny

an excellent image and a bit different to the norm. Nicely taken.

Matt

Just beautiful - would love to get one like this

Hi Mark,

Beautiful image!
