Lovely expressions on the birds, I wonder if it would be better to crop a little closer and cut out some of the space left and bottom. Just a thought.

Lovely interaction from the two love birds, the comp works for me as posted as it gives the feeling of a steep drop below.

Nicely taken, Graham.

They are a pleasure to spend time with, and you've caught an endearing photo there.

There isn't a lot to improve in the shot, other than to suggest that you maybe try a few differing crops - perhaps taking a touch off the bottom to make it a pano format, or taking a bit off the bottom and left hand side to help balance the lack of space behind the right hand puffin a touch (he's a little close to the edge).
