These Chinstrap penguins traversed a narrow, rocky pass on Half Moon Island, Antarctica. Parts of another penguin behind the last one were removed by cloning.

All C&C are welcome.

I think this is wonderful.
I love the 3 birds in focus and the way they are threading their way through the pass. Love the pink feet.
DOF and exposure are spot on.
The IQ is excellent as well.
I think this would also look great if you cropped a bit more off the LHS and increased the saturation a little bit.
What a beautiful souvenir from Antarctica!

agree with Gail's suggestions... I wonder if dodging the eyes a little would help...

Cool looking birds, nicely captured.
