Puffins are a great subject and very entertaining to watch. However, it can be difficult to come up with a new (and different) image of such a well photographed species.

For this shot, I wanted a silhouette of the puffin with the sunset behind it. With the majority of cliffs sloping downwards to the sea, it was difficult to get below the bird and have the sky behind it. So instead, I used the reflection of the colours in the sea.
