These are so cute that they just don't look real -- nice to include the habitat as I have no idea where these guys reside. I'm wishing the OOF grass in the foreground was not there -- but nicely exposed with a good background

I like this, OOF grass and all. The OOF grass in the foreground to me adds some depth.

Nice image of this bird and his habitat. You are the "puffinmeister".
