Puffin
Hello everyone. Well last Tuesday, I finally made it over to the very beautiful Island of Skomer!! :biggrin: The whole Island is a picture, carpeted in Bluebells and Sea Campion. Although the weather wasn't brilliant(shrouded in fog on our way to the Wick), it gradually improved. The eggs are hatching now, and the Puffins are busy collecting Sandeels, but the many Gulls are really giving them a hard time. Here is one that made a safe landing!!

Canon EOS 7D
Canon 70-200 F4 IS 'L'
f4
1/1600 sec
ISO 400
Handheld
Processed in Lightroom 4 and CS4

Looks fine to me Paul- Maybe a tiny bit dark -easily fixed if need be.
Certainly sharp where it matters.
Cheers

nicely captured Paul. I'm viewing this on an uncalibrated monitor at the moment but it looks like it could do with some more contrast. Otherwise, great.
