King Penguins

[Norm Dulak]

Nikon D7000 w/Nikkor 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6 VR lens at 112mm, hand held
ISO 500; f/9.0, 1/500 sec; MM +0.33
PP: PS CS6 levels, curves, crop, sharpen; Color Efex Pro4 tonal contrast to better bring out the eyes

From Fortuna Bay, South Georgia Island, the Southern Ocean. While I was happy to get this group in relatively good positions, I regret not increasing ISO and stopping down the lens more to improve dof.

Your comments and suggestions?

I love the standout yellows on the Penguins and the feeling of community of the group. You mention lack of DOF but the group all appear in focus to me and I don't think it necessary for the background to be sharp Norm.

It's nice to see the group in their varied environment. I think I'd take a little off of the top if it were mine.
