Very different pose , and a good one.
I reckon more space at the top and some more on the right.
Minor nit though.

Yes different indeed. Spacing fine for me as I like 'em BIF.

You've captured a great pose here. Agree with John though about some more space on the right and a the top.

Phil, a puffin in an "Eddie the Eagle" pose - love it! Needs just a bit more headroom for me.

Great timing Phil, you don't see too many shots of Puffins at take off. Like it lots.

Very well captured there Phil, I would decrease the gamma a little to give it a bit more punch as it's getting a little washed out in the face (particularly the eye area) in my opinion. A very different shot and all the better for it.

Fantastic pose Phil. I love the way the feet are really extended and the claws seeming to be the only thing keeping it attached to the rock. Minor nits covered.
