When I grow up

[Nancy Bell]

...I'll be sleek and handsome :S3:. Young African Penguin photographed at Boulders Beach, South Africa, near Cape Town. This is a wonderful place to visit as the penguins are very accessible, are curious and hugely tolerant of people.

Canon 7D, Canon 70-200 f2.8 L IS @ 195mm, 1/1250, f4.5, exp. comp. -2/3, ISO 400.

C & C most appreciated.

This picture brings back so many memories of my trip there last year.
A very nice picture Nancy. I really like the vertical comp. Well done on the fairly clean BG as I know the area can be quite cluttered.I like how he is holding his head high and proud.

Nancy, Lovely image and great posture of the penguin. I do spot a blue cast on the darker parts of the back, wing and feet, and a little pink spot on his belly. I would try to tone those down.

Gail & Clemens, Thank you for the comments. I wondered what that pink spot on his belly was. I'll also work on the blue cast.
