These are one of my favorite subjects, and you've captured this one well.
To me, the background is a little dull, and would benefit from a boost in the saturation.
I would also consider cropping the shot a tad, losing some of the man made stone pile,
this will add to the sense of isolation.
Love the shot, compositionally I think it really works
However, I agree it looks a bit dull, did the LAB Colour boost on it (restricted to the foreground rocks and the puffin) and some simple levels adjustment (to the whole image) to produce
I think i prefer the original,. seems to have more detail on his feathers on his back and his beak doesnt look quite right for me. I do like the colouring on the rocks though.
I think its a lovely photo but the BG is a little distracting, I can't help but think replacing it with an equally out of focus sea-scape or coast line would add some real drama and emotion to the scene, turning this great photo into a fantastic one...
Nice shot, I selectively increased the contrast on the puffin and rocks, plus increased black a tiny bit. Then I used the dodge tool subtley on the rocks and puffin too. Not too much difference.
