Photographer's Note
A natty black-and-white seabird with a huge, multicolored bill, the Atlantic Puffin looks like a clown of the sea. It breeds in colonies on rocky islands in the North Atlantic and winters at sea. This fine specimen was found on the small island of Lunga. Lunga belongs to a group of small islands, called the Treshnish islands, just off the cost of larger Mull in the inner hebrides. Every year around 3000 of these comical birds nest and breed on the small rock in the sea. As humans are no threat to them, on can approach these birds quite close and observe there courtship dances from a distance of a few centimeters only.

Hello Daniel,
What a pretty bird, and cute, too! I like the colors and love the razor sharp subject against the blurred background.

Hi Bonjour dear Daniel, how are you?
Yes great nature image via so sharp and clear presentation. I am not sure the name but this cuty face bird is very common. Shallow exposure makes so clearly.
All the best and have a good day! Takero

Hi Daniel
Super shot of a brilliant bird... that look it's just adorable! very very cute! and wonderful quizzical look on his face. It almost looks like she was posing for you and so effective against the bright blue background. The colour combination is gorgeous especially I love how the speck of red sparkles as effective colour contrast gluing the eyes in on this stunning capture.
You are soooooo lucky!!
Congrats
Best wishes

Good Morning Daniel,
If ever a bird was standing in the spotlight, waiting to be photographed, it's this puffin!
The light on its face and breast helps create a good, 3D effect.
I love that you have captured it against the plain b/g of the sky which creates a superb backcloth without any distractions. The grass makes an excellent, textured perch to complete the scene.
Have a lovely day,
Bev :-)

Hello Daniel,
Puffins are always such really nice and cute creatures, even though they have such a sad look on their faces. Excellent photo of this little fellow. The sharpness and sunlight are both fantastic here. Really very well done.

Hi Daniel,
Beautiful close-up of this peculiar looking bird. Excellent sharpness and sidelight. I saw these in Reykjavik on a whale watching trip, but we were not quite close enough to get good pictures.

Hi Daniel
this would be another one of my regrets, I wish I could have seen Puffins when I was in Scotland.
This shot works so well because of the bright lighting, its so well illuminated. lovely colors and the bg blue is A+, fine shot to have in your gallery. cheers

Ciao Daniel
This is a superb wildlife photo. I know that photographing animals is not in your comfort zone, but you have done a magnificent job here. Stunning colours, sharpness and definition. The aqua blue colour of the background is the crowning glory of the photograph. Congratulations.
Thanks for sharing, have a wonderful weekend

Hi Daniel,
I never saw the puffin in really live, so is great pleasure to enjoy your photo. Very good shot with perfect sharpness and hazy background.
Have a nice day,

Hello, Daniel!
Interesting and beautiful bird, with this different beak, and it was captured with excellent light, which gives wonderful warm colors to the scene! Sharpness is also perfect! Wonderful composition!
