Ooooh, I *love* puffins. They look so adorable and colourful, yet with a kind of dignity - oh, err, did I mention I really love puffins?

This looks very idyllic - a zen puffin, if I ever saw one.

I looove puffins, and am holiday now so that I can go and visit some - a few days too late for this challenge (although I was able to get a distant photo of one). I like the rich, velvetiness of the water, and I LOVE the reflection - I have never seen that before. A shame you weren't able to get a bit more detail, but I suspect that you were at the very end reach of your ens and probably cropped in quite a way in post processing. Still, that reflection is cracking, and adds a quite different element to your photo.

I should not give out bonus points for exceptional cuteness of subject, but ... it's a Puffin :-))). On the deep blue sea, which both sets him off beautifully and gives an idea of how small he is. I love Puffins!

Very cute Atlantic Puffin. The ocean water undulations are beautiful blue, but the ocean is probably too much a proportion of the scene vs. the bird. Natural colors. Would like to see a bit more detail in the bird. The reflection in the water adds interest. 7

So cute! I don't have any good pics of puffins and they are our provincial bird!
