Hi all....it has been a busy week so I haven't been able to get to these photos until now. Last Sunday I went on a Puffin cruise toEastern Egg Rock, where they have been trying to restore the Puffin colonies, with great success. This is my first attempt at shooting RAW only and doing all editing in DPP, so comments and suggestions are welcome.

And we did see Puffins. I had expected to see some on rocks, but we saw them in the water or flying by (very quickly)

The puffins surprised me in that they are small and have to flap their wings ~250/min to fly. So they move very fast.
