Very nice Jack. The rim lighting does give it a somewhat different appearance from the normal puffin portrait.

Hi Jack,

I like the way the wings have caught a bit of back-lighting, makes them stand out from the darker backdrop. I always think their beaks look fabulous in these lighting conditions too. Nice one.

Superb lighting against a great BG. Excellent.

a lovely shot, a cut above most puffin images. Great lighting and composition.
