Hello Mark,
Another excellent shot! Is this the puffin's equivalent to spaghetti? Fabulous sharpness and detail, together with bright colours and good dof.
Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hi Marco,
Stunning picture, the sharpness is perfect and you used only a shutter speed of 1/180! But did you used a tri-pod? Anyway excellent photo of this puffin with food. I'm really impressed, compared with my bird shot ... boy I can learn a lot! My compliments friend!

Hi Marc,
First I have to say that I love the parrot in your intro pic.
The dutch name for the Puffin = papegaaiduiker = translated again parrot-diver.
After going out onto the sea to do some whale-spotting, we lacked courage to go out again on the off-chance to see puffins (because of the cold), but I'm sure I would never have succeeded to make such a beautiful capture!
TFS the bird we missed while visiting Nord Norway.

Hi Mark, A well composed nature photograph with the huge bonus of fish in its mouth making it very special. Good tight crop and sharp as possible. A very fine bird well presented. TFS. Murray.
