An ornithological study capturing Atlantic Puffins (Fratercula arctica) as they transition from open-ocean foraging to their terrestrial breeding colony. The composition utilizes the vast, smooth negative space of the coastal waters to emphasize the kinetic energy and morphological adaptations of the species. Built primarily for hydrodynamic efficiency, their compact wings require rapid, high-frequency beats to sustain aerial flight. The sheer, grassy cliff edge serves as a strict environmental boundary, anchoring their energetic return firmly within the severe realities of the coastal habitat. Presented on Hahnemühle FineArt Baryta mounted to aluminium Dibond with a 6 mm natural oak floater frame.
