Photographed on Machias Island, I was happy that this Razorbill cooperated and showed me the inside of his mouth.

Axel, quite a pose, wouldn't have guessed the inside of his mouth would be so colorful.  Yet again, you've captured all the tonal variations so well, excellent work.

Great detail, exposure and pose. I catch-light in the eye would have been nice.

Axel
It has all sort of been said. You have handled the exposure well but I agree with Bob about the catchlight.
Seems a waste having nice colours like that in a gullet.

Very nice... the mouth almost looks like the inside of a daylily. Wonderful colour.
