    Aaron Hunter’s puffin , for me, is a beautiful and persuasive image which captures the essence of the what I think Shetland is all about. Wild, clean ,sea loving ,natural and friendly. Few places can match its character and somehow the cheeky and friendly puffin encapsulates all those qualities.

    It is a nice picture, but pictures of puffins are also very common as well.

    It does not really represent Shetland, as such.

    Good composition with good contrast between light and dark. Good foreground, middle ground and background.
