Puffin on Guard Photo

Photographer’s Note

We went for a walk at Mykines and when we saw first puffins, we were so excited that I spent long time lying in the grass waiting for a "perfect shot". This is one of my early attempts. Only later did we realise that at Mykines you don't have to wait for these cute birds in a hideout as they are everywhere and are not particularly afraid of people so taking their pix isn't much of a problem...

You made a trip I would make, Ewa, Skye and here the Faroe Islands, wow, I love celtic countries...
Here's the "papegaaiduiker" as we call it, funny and beautiful birds, one day I have to see them with my own eyes, here's a foretaste already, thanks for sharing.....

"Come with me, i will show you the world"
"Oh... I want to stay here... with you"

I like your couple of puffins :) They seem to me as if they were chatting together. The one in the foreground has an ambitious look! You can feel live in this shot.

However, as your framing is almost square, i made a workshop for you... tell me what you think about it.

Regards,
Amine.
