Hiding - Puffin
A puffin taken on a recent trip to skomer, I liked the 'looking out' of the picture look.

Very nice indeed Craig. I had my first overnight stay, booked on Skomer this year but had to cancel, much to my dissapointment. You were blessed with some nice soft lighting on this one which really helps with Puffins. I really like the composition on this.
cheers

Great shot Craig, the "mush" draws you into the bird well. Only crit. would be there being to much on the face.

Nice shot Craig,

I like the colour continuity across the fore- and background. I can cope with the little bit of grass on the face. The Puffins certainly give you time to get through a few cards.

What are you doing posting anyway? I thought you'd be a bit busy right now!

Nice idea Craig works well. Perhaps a little toning down of the green would make the Puffin pop a bit more. :toast:

Beautiful and very well composed shot, Graig. I like the soft fore- and background very much.
