Puffin
Taken yesturday on Skomer, it rained all day, with the wind blowing the rain it was very hard to get any good photos, my equipment had its toughest test and passed it with ease as I 'Tabbed' around the four-mile Island,the boat ride was rough too and at one point it looked like we would have to stay on the island due to the sea(was hoping for this,haha) The rest of my photos can be seen on the link below, Thanks for looking

For a rainy day Craig, looks good to me, with great colour for the backdrop. Good, bold strong colours, that's what I like about Puffins and they great characters too, like it! :toast:

Perhaps a tighter head shot might be worth considering to give a bit more impact IMHO?

Four miles, rain, rough crossing, you are getting soft Craig :wink:

Great image. Like the BG very much in combination with this very colorful and proud standing bird.
