[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I have an account on Trek Earth, where I had posted this shot, it was taken on the Farne Islands just off the coast of Northumberland.

While there I met a very kind gentleman who mentioned this site, so I figured I would join up and post up some of my captures.

Hope you like this shot as my opener on Trek Nature.

Kind Regards
Dave

Hi Dave, Welcome to TN. I wonder if the man you meet was called James he was there last weekend. You have started with a fine close up of Puffin . I just love the way the other two are looking up at it landing. Good detail and colours. well done TFS.

Hi Dave

Yes it was me you met - Nick was right. Great action shot - I especially like the way that the puffins heads form a triangle - good isolation also.

Hi Dave

Great 1st post of the Puffin's, they are one of my favourite birds.
Nicely composed with a great POV and pose, I really like the one looking up as the other lands.
Nice details and great colours.
Welcome to TN.

Hello.
I like as much the "spectators" as the main subject.
The pose of the landing is great, but the watchers really add to the photo very much.
Welcome to TN, hope you enjoy the site.
Felipe.

Wonderful composition and colours.
I like it very much.

Ciao

Hi Dave,
Welcome to TN.
You start off nicely with this Pufinn(S) image..I like the inflight Puffin focus and the details presented quite well. Look forward to more of your posts..
TFS & Cheers

Hello Dave,
Welcome on TN. A very beautiful photo to start with. Great sharpness and details, also in the whites. Very nice scene. Good natural colours and an excellent POV.
