Should not grumble but I got a bright sunny day for my trip to Skomer great place to be in any weather the flowers on there where superb.
Thanks a lot for your comments and tips on my Hare much appreciated.

A touch cool? But the flowers on Skomer make for brilliant shots.

Hi Keith, agree with Neil, it's too cool. Again removing the Blue certainly lifts the greens a tad and you can bump up the greens.

Agree with it being a touch cool, but it's still a lovely image and very sharp, Keith. Quite sure Mr K can help with the processing.

It certainly is cool Keith!

Corking image of a Puffin and the OOF vegetation adds an intimacy to the image.

I have to say Keith I think you have the colour spot on , having the balance a touch cool and subduing the flowers stops them competing with the remarkably beak. Nice pic.
