2016 Wildlife Photo Contest

Atlantic Puffin, Thick-billed Murre, Spitsbergen, Svalbard, Norway
Landing

Species: Atlantic Puffin, Thick-billed Murre | Location: Spitsbergen, Svalbard, Norway

The jury is evaluating how good the landing is! Photos of puffins on cliffs are not easy to take since one is at water level while the birds are high on the cliff. The bright sky and dark cliff rock foul the camera sensor added to the moving zodiac, but patience to push the trigger in the right moment can pay off.
