Hi all

Here is a shot of a Puffin who was kind enough to pose for me. Please feel free to comment (C&C). :-)

Hmmm have you done much PP? It either looks like you ahve substituted the background or oversharpened. Those edges don't seem to look right?

Did you try runing s/h on the shadow area? Other then the dark patch this is an excellent image of a bird I might just might be able to shoot this summer when I visit Nova Scotia.

Very nice Sindri! The shadows add character and contrast but the eye could have been in the light. JMHO

Sometimes I'm confused by the "advice" folks want to give concerning great shots... this is a keeper, as is.
