15th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Eye of the Puffin

This is a portrait of an Atlantic Puffin from the southern coast of Iceland. We waited hours for the Puffins to return from feeding for the day. Just as the midnight sun was getting low in the sky, an incredible number of Puffins flew to their nests in the cliff side.
