Puffin in backlight
In this striking photograph, a puffin is captured in a low-light setting, with its distinctive beak illuminated against a dark background. The minimal lighting highlights the bird’s unique features and creates a dramatic, almost mysterious atmosphere. The contrast between the illuminated beak and the shadows emphasizes the puffin’s elegance and adds a sense of intrigue to the image.
