Been thinking for quite a while about posting this image. I think some may find it a little in your face, just a little different to the normal Puffin shot.

Full frame.

Been busy working, but i hope to get out on friday and get some shots.

Great shot! Never seen one head on like this and I especially like the appearance of the eyes. Portrait would also work. I wonder if you might get away with a little boost in saturation or contrast.

certainly a high impact shot. Good DOF too. Very nice.

Thats nice.... I might just crop a touch from the right to centre the puffin.. in this case I think central works...
