Hi Karan,
Cool image! The bird looks sad though. Great colours, details and POV. It's a very good portrait of this particular species. They are lovely. Well seen and captured, congrats! And I'm really sorry you didn't catch them flying.

Hester,

this has a classic puffin pose, you colours are very life-like and the angle of the shot is good.
the background has not imposed on the bird.

Regards C.D.

Hi Karan,
Great sharp and colourful picture of this puffin. He's really posing for you :-)
One little nit-pick, a small triangle of different coloured grass at the bottom I would have cropped that, it distracts a bit in my opinion. Overall a fine posting!

Hello Karan,a lovely shot of the 'Sea Parrot'.
Good sharpness and colours, and an excellent PoV.
I like the blurred bg so that we are able to focus on all the details of this beautiful little bird.
Thanks for the interesting notes.
Regards Jean.

Hello Karan,

I hope you had a great photo experience in Iceland, a very photogenic place with lots of opportunities...
...like this fellow!
Your feathered friend gives a great pose, super details and the characteristic beak is a natural eye-catcher...

I could not get enough of seeing this puffins when I visited Alaska, I found them so colorful and so much fun to watch. I had to come home with a sweater with an enbroidered puffin.
Fantastic, sharp shot, looks like he purpousely posed for you.
Great shot

Hi Karan,

Beautiful model and very nice pose :-) I did a little adjustment in a workshop. Hope you don't mind.
I think the rest of the photo is perfect!
Well done.

hello Karan,
wonderful portrait of a puffin. Your POV is perfect, showing the puffin against the sky. I like the contrast between the blue and the bright orange of its beak too.The sharpness allows us to see feather details too.

Hi Karan..this is a nice shot of a puffin or in Norwegian...lundefugl ( I think the spelling is correct). I lived on an island off the coast of Norway where these great birds would come every year..they would run on the surface of the water to gain enough speed to jump in the air because they otherwise didn't have the strength to take off.

Many thanks for your comment on ‘Autumn at St Leonards’...frosty but not overly cold.
