Puffin courtship
I love puffins, they are full of character, this is another one from a series, but this is my favorite, you can even see the teeth, which help to hold the sand eels on place. i took several shots, had had to over expose to try and retain the detail of the feather.

C&C welcome.

Nice to see a different take on Puffins. I think this works really well. Nice back lighting adds to the romantic atmosphere. :smile: :wavey:

Good pose and good use of the light.You could maybe crop in even closer,from the sides and bottom.
