    Do ya know Noely I was very tempted but opted not to. The deadness of the puffins eyes is really weird charachteristic. There is never a reflection from them, I don’t know why. So I decided to leave it. I agree it would make a big difference though and there is nothing tempts me more than temptation so you never know :)

    Thanks,

    Danny

    I agree with noely – a itsy bitsy twinkle would just up his charm

    Still avoiding the temptation, the ol’ conscience is at me :?

    Noely would you believe the Sigma 70-300 that you mentioned to me yesterday I have a Sigma 70-200 2.8 which is my most used lens but it wont focus in this close.

    Well done!! Hmm i wouldnt be overly worried about the catch lights in the eye.

    Very nice photo Danny. Glad you didn’t listen to these pseudo ‘nature’ photographers – if it isn’t there, don’t add it.

    Unusual angle. Seems like a curious chap :).
    Perfect exposure which I’d imagine wouldn’t be all that straight-forward given the white on black or is that the other way around.

    Some of us must arrange a trip for some nature photography.

    Terrific capture. Like Mark’s idea about a nature trip, could be very interesting and instructive.
