Good composition, Oscar, with blacks and whites well controlled. Would make a good front cover to something!

Not sure if I want less top or less bottom, but he is looking down so i would say less top :) But it has bags of detail, classic puffin shot.

A fine image, Oscar. I particularly like the pose and position of the bird. Watch out for sharpening halos when you have black (or dark) objects against a blue sky.

Lovely Puffin shot Oscar. Exposure looks spot on and the comp looks good to me.

Lovely pose and the lichen-covered sloping rock is particularly fortuitous.

Classic puffin - like it. Amazed to see so much blue sky in a single frame this year ...
