A disagreement

Two Puffins are having a disagrement at Latrabjarg in Iceland. The Third oof puffin here is not ideal but personally I feel there is enough separation for the image to work here, what do you think?

Thank you for looking!

p.s. there is a larger version in my gallery

Tech: 7D, 400mm, f5.6, iso 400 & 1/1600th

Would prefer without the 3rd puffin but as it is the bright red of the beaks takes you eyes immediately.

That's one of the hardest things about Skomer is to get a clear background, but when action like this happens you just have to go for it regardless.
I like the interaction between the 2 puffins, it works for me
Well done.

I agree about the puffin in the background not being ideal but the puffin on the left, position, light and action more than make up for it. I like square crops as well, ultimately, do what works!

No, the backgound puffin isn't ideal, but the interaction between the two in front is what draws the eye first. Great photo.

Lovely shot Jorne great interaction between the two birds also very nice light.

I can live with the bird at the back

love the interaction and the colour of those beaks is lovely

The light and vibrant colours are fantastic in this shot, in an ideal world it would have been nice to lose the third puffin but thats what keeps us going back I would still be more than happy with this shot though,

I like the interaction between the birds and also how the sunlight highlights the wonderful colours of the beak, whilst keeping the foreground and most of the background in the shade.

Jorne, I would also prefer if the third puffin had not crept into the frame, but irrespective of this, it is a good image and I would have been pleased to have taken it. Andrew

Nicely framed in great light and I particularly like the interaction which takes your eye away from the bird in the BG.

The stunning colour in the beaks of the 2 main subjects certainly draws the eye away from the OOF Puffin. A really nice image.
