This one is the greatest! Shot at exactly the right moment! And just the right parts of the picture are pin sharp. What a huge crop of sand eels! Crop of Karma for Marion!

This is a winner KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK, well only one, but I was shouting LOL. I am not fed up with the puffin photos, I love seeing them. My only slight critique would be that it may benefit from a slight levels adjustment. I love the movement of the wings, it really adds life to this fantastic photo.

Well I am speechless. I must give credit to the little puffin for moving at the "right time"

Dee could you please do the level adjustment and re post it, I'd like to see the difference. Although I am back taking pictures, I am doing very little adjustments just now. One step at a time for me.

I'm just off to buy myself a bigger hat because my head seems to have grown CD* CD* CD* CD*


What a lovely way to start the week.

cheers Marion

LOL @ Brad.

Congrats Marion, well done on the showcase very well deserved.

Here is my effort, very little difference just a tiny bit of pop. Folks may prefer the original. In any case it is still a winner and a great image.  CD#
