Beautiful image! Its been many years since I photographed Puffins, back in the days of manual focus! Perfect image, I really like the wings and concentration! :D

A great angle for capturing this landing. I'd be tempted to boost the contrast some.

Enjoy viewing

Very nice! Great detail on the bird against a nice clean background, and a super angle.

Love it! I would try a bit of Curves on it but just the mids to darks and leave the whites where they are. It would really pop then. Love the action captured and your composition.
