Chinstrap Penguin Portrait

[Rhys Marsh]

A portrait of a Chinstrap Penguin from Half Moon Island, Antarctica. PP included only Lightroom and brightness/contrast/saturation for the eye. No cloning, etc.

I look forward to any C&C, as always very much appreciated.

Rhys:

Strong graphic quality because of the black and whites and the interesting lines. Nice that you were able to maintain details in the whites.

Wish the head was a bit more towards us, generally more engaging to the viewer.

This is a case where you would have been well served to trade ISO for DOF> . You could have safely pushed the ISO up enough to allow a smaller f/stop.

Amazing how tight you were able to work.

Cheers
