Leonardo:

Really like this different presentation for penguins. We generally only think of them on snow and ice.

I really like the head position of the two closest to use. Nice exposure and sharpness. Good shooting angle.

I would consider removing the cut off grass in RUC, and think about doing a crop or clone of the back of the bird and beak of lower bird on extreme left of frame.

Overall, I like this one a lot.

Cheers

Randy

Beautiful image!

Great subject, perspective, sharpness and exposure.
I love the pose the two front birds are striking and juxtaposition with the birds back, right.

IMO this wonderful image would be even stronger with a little more room at the bottom.
I also feel the grass top right corner and to a lesser extent the bird head lower left are distractions that draw attention away from your main subject.

Sweet, thanks for something different.
