Puffin shot in the Scottish highlands. I like the quiet and calmness of image. Due to climate change these puffins are decreasing in population. As a nature photograpy enthusiast, I feel it's imporant for me try to capture the emotion and beauty to draw attention to the importance of wildlife and nature which is more relevant than ever.

These puffins were easy to get close to and to capture the image I layed on the ground with the 300mm and was able to capture this beautiful bird.

Editing: slight boost to the contrast, and cropped slightly. A very soft brush adding a bit of additional light to the beak and head of the bird

Nikon d610, 300mm, f4.5, 1/2500, iso 640

I appreciate you taking the perspective of our fellow inhabitants of the planet. And the photo is beautifully sedate and thoughtful, very much in tandem with your intent.
