said
foxyfloridalady 2007.03.13 at 21:28:48 PDT
Although the main plumage is black and white, the bright red colour of the feet and the beak do stand out and gives this unusual bird prominence. You have captured an excellent shot of the puffin in action. Congratulations on this photo being featured today. Enjoy your day and thanks for sharing.

A wonderful shot. I recall visiting Sitka Island, Alaska on a fishing trip and we fished off Puffin Island. A million Puffins live there and it is protected island. As we cleaned our fish, we had many Puffins waiting for hand outs so they could feed their young. A magical day. Thank you for sharing this outstanding photo and congratulations on being featured today. Best Wishes, Marjie

I hope you don't mind me saying this, but on full download and some inspection this appears to have quite a bit of photoshop work done on it. If I'm right, it has to be said it was excellently done, but I would like to know why you did it? What was in the way of this scene to make you change it? I still like the photo very much although the evidence of work around the wings did spoil it a little! If I'm mistaken, I'm sorry! I love your other work by the way, you have some stunning shots in all your albums. Debbie, UK
