Both gorgeous. Lovely light on the puffin.

Rajan,
Nothing but beautiful. And a fine title, too.

I love the puffin in this soft and warm light.

A little infilling of yellow to take away the paper white of the sun would make it a very fine image imo, but very nice as it is. The puffin is a very fine image.

Yes, I encountered the same yellow cast (and some posterization) when I shot rising sun in the Vosges this spring.

Some "Photoshoping" cure the problem with less yellow cast around and sun filling with light yellow.

This would bring this photo to a high level.

I like the puffin too, nothing to change here, perfect like this.

Thank you, all.

Thierry, that does not look like a yellow "cast" to me. Note that this was zoomed in at 300 mm. A wider version is here. (http://blog.parrikar.com/2016/05/30/touchdown/)

OK, perfect like this.

But when you print such a photo, don't you have sometimes yellow that turns to green-yellow, especially when you use perceptive rendering?!

I find that relative colorimetric works better in that case.

Have a Nice Day.
