I love the composition and pose. Great detail too. Could you maybe lighten the bottom right corner a little?

Thanks Ian.
Well, I could brighten it but it's the rocky coastline which was as seen while the rest is the sea.

Nicely exposed and the judge is out about the dark corner but I'm not too fussed by it.. Superb detail throughout, might have liked a little more room at the bottom for the feet.

I agree with Brett (I'm doing too much of that today!) about the feet needing a little more space, even if they are virtual feet. Other than that a classic puffin shot.

Hello Geoff.

Beautiful capture and I love the background.

Lovely picture. I like the exposure with the subtle colours and just enough background detail of the coastline.
