King Penguins, Falkland Islands
Partly cloudy with 40-50mph winds made for exciting conditions. Lying on my belly with camera in hand, often in the surf zone getting wet was well worth the effort. I covered the penguin group from all angles with lenses from 70-500mm. Blowing sand is what caused the soft contrast, etc to the bottom of the image. Sand was everywhere, and I think I am making a pearl at this very moment-LOL This was my 5th visit to the islands and I am already looking forward to returning to this magical place in early 2012.
