Since there have been a lot of Puffin's as of late I thought that I would add another one...

I think that the look in his eye has it!

D2H 70-200mm @ 185mm

1/1000 @ f8 ISO 200

Image is Full Frame

All comments welcome! :D

Beautiful! A sort of sorrowful expression that seems to fit the light. Wonderful background... I always end up with blue sky or rocks & vegetation as the background.

Wonderful image!

A beautiful portrait, Gibby!!!!!!!! Might like a little more canvas in front of the puffin.

I agree the eye is fantastic here, exposure is spot on giving good detail in the whites and the pose works well.

Beautiful image. Needs a little room in front of him. Light and exposure are really nice.

Bit flat ... would benefit from some mid-tone adjustments.
Also would like to see more room on the right instead ...
Good work nonetheless, Jonathan!

These birds have such a wistful expression. I love the sharpness and head position, I too would like just a bit more room on the right.

I agree with KK. The image is a tad flat. Some adjustments in levels and contrast/saturation will help it alot. A bit of fill flash would have helped also. A beautiful image that I wish I had...yet to photograph puffins myself.
