Guillemot landing

Staple Island, Farne Islands view map

Would it be better with the out-of-focus puffin in the background edited out? I decided not to as I quite liked the fact that it looks like the guillemot coming in to land is jumping over the puffin...

A great capture. Perhaps removing the puffin creates a cleaner image but I personally prefer sticking to what was actually there and seen. Besides it does add some extra depth.
