Taken on the Farnes recently during a trip with some friends.

I know wish I'd spent more time on these most special of birds.

Camera: Canon EOS-1D Mark III
Exposure: 0.001 sec (1/1250)
Aperture: f/4.0
Focal Length: 500 mm
ISO Speed: 100
Exposure Bias: -1 EV

Good defused BG to throw the body out, but it does look a tad warm to me Graham looking at the beak. Good detail in the head. Would be tempted to crop in just slightly too, perhaps?

great image, the pose and light are excellent, wish it was 3:2 though that's just me

it is a very nice Puffin portrait & is another image that few have bothered to comment on.
Nice pose & details with a good comp :toast:
