Perfection Miguel! I think it was the painter Breugel who discovered how to use blacks and whites to intensify reds. This a wonderful illustration of the technique.

A classic puffin image, perfectly executed. Amazing how they can get so many fish lined up in their bil like that.

I am not sure what could make this image any better.
The colors, the contrast, the sharpness and details are absolutely flawless.
This image is technically perfect simply because it does not look like a picture but is as close as reality as one can get. Congratulation!
