Beautiful family portrait Mike...Love the settings and how all the penguins are looking in one direction...Excellent image.

[Ignacio Yufera]

Great job getting them all in focus and looking intently in the same direction... I love the different poses, and yet the expressions so similar. Great shot, Mike.

[PhilCook]

Nice clean comp Mike with no chopped off birds, perfectly exposed and detailed....enviable capture and enviable excursion to get these

[Karl Egressy]

I like the fact that all five look to the same direction, keeping the composition together. The nice lichen covered rocks and stormy looking background adds more interest. Excellent image, Mike.

[Bill Dix]

Five good head angles -- no easy task. This gives a great sense of place. Nicely done.

[Arthur Morris]

Yes, five perfect head angles is not easy feat.

[dankearl]

I don't know how you got five with the same head angle?
Great work.

[Tim King]

Amazing timing. Soooo nice.

[Mike Veltri]

Wonderful image, getting them all looking at the same time must have taken some patience.

[Marina Scarr]

Lovely head angles. I image you talking to them to coax them/get their attention. That's what I would have been doing. Makes for a very pleasing photo esp with the rocks, the water and the waves. The only thing I would change if it were mine would be to take a sliver off of the top to cut off some of the white wave.
