Shot on the Farne islands, these were my two favourites of the day. Let me know what you think!

I can tell you what I think. I am jealous! This is a bucket list destination of mine.

Both images are strong. There is a lot going right on both.

As a suggestion for the first image, you could even out the exposure on the puffin which might bring out his dinner a little more.

The focus and exposure on the second one is nice. (Rule-breakers prepare yourselves) I would try a crop that puts the puffin right on the upper left thirds junction. There is a rule some call the 'rule of space' that essentially means giving your subject the space to do whatever it is they are doing. In this case, give this fellow some space to fly into. Here is a quick example to see what you think. Just a suggestion.

Over all - super solid effort!

Lovely shots. I didn't realize how small puffins were until I tried to photograph them while in Newfoundland a few years back. Getting these kinds of shots takes patience.
