Still trawling through images from my 2009 Antarctic season and this one of a Gentoo Penguin caught my eye. It is quite a challenge to capture the shadows and highlights in these birds and get detail in the eye. I was determined this year to do it.
Crop and sharpen. Eye was lightened a little (dodged). Whites were calibrated in LAB colour.
Comments welcome!
