A pleasurable experience watching and photographing these delicate Atlantic Puffins in Iceland recently.
The new Z9 makes capturing this kind of stuff so much easier
Is the LLC distracting to some degree ?
Of course, anything from somebody else’s point of view

The lower left doesn’t bother me, Karl. I like having the two birds in the frame even though there’s not much interaction. A very nice image.
Another fine Puffin scene here, Karl… 
Did you have a specific item in the LLC for review? I’m not seeing any issues there… 
Hi Karl
The lower left frame look fine and the Puffins are a classic photograph. The only very very small nit, I have is the lower right Puffin is a little soft. (DOF ?). Very nice work.

Karl, this is a really good Puffin image. Excellent catch and wonderful feeling. I love the title too. 
Wonderful image Karl with focus on the bird in flight. Terrific capture. The LLC looks fine to me.
Thanks @David_Bostock , @Allen_Sparks , @Paul_Breitkreuz , @peter , @Dennis_Plank
Initially I tohught of darkening that LLC a little
