 Takrn on a trip to Farne Island .... awesome place for Puffins and Tern!

These Puffins fly fast and frantic and are great to watch.

Cropped, converted from raw upping exposure, vibrancy, blacks. Curves and levels in cs3, resize, noise ninja, border, save.

Hello from the Critique Club,

Pffft, make my job hard why don't you, this is an amazing shot.

It can clearly be seen, that this is in the wild with the gorgeous blues of the sea behind the rock face. The background is nicely blurred, the birds are tack sharp and it is an overall excellent shot.

The only thing I can see would be to crop a bit off the top, there is too much space there and the focus would be more on the birds. 1/800th to capture this, they really are fast!

Well done on this excellent shot and the favs it got. I am now off to fav it too!

Nice, clear action shot. the only thing to improve IMO would be to crop out a bit of the top to keep the focus on the puffins.

Oh, there once was a puffin, Just the shape of a muffin,
And he lived on an island, In the bright blue sea!

He ate little fishes, That were most delicious,
And he had them for supper, And he had them for tea.
