Nicely caught, Robert. My only nit is that the eye looks a little on the dark side, and I suggest a selective lightening around that area. Otherwise a fine portrait.

It's a good looking portrait with some excellent exposure control, giving some good detail in both the whites and the blacks. The open beak pose adds a great deal to the shot, but I have to agree with David re the eye, the lack of any catchlight makes for a dead looking eye, but thats easily fixed if you're so inclined.

Unusual Pufin shot Robert and I think it works well. A catchlight would bring the eye out a bit more and as Andy has said is easily sorted if you wanted to.
