I like the beautiful setting, composition and light. The seals mixed in with the colony adds interest. Excellent image Arthur!

Hi Artie,
This image really speaks to me. The hiker in me loves the background mountains that are scaled by the perspective of penguins from shore off into the distance.
The crowds of many small penguins and the perspective from sea, seems to suggest "welcome to our land".
This is the kind of photo a person can look at for hours, and enjoy for years.
Thanks for sharing this one!

I keep trying to count the number of Kings (lol) ... totally awesome. The mountainous BG with shadows and highlights is perfect, and although huge, lets the Penguins have their center stage. Yes, this is a "looker".

Hey Arash, Thanks. You can be there. If you’d like to join me on the OCT/NOV 2016 expedition to South Georgia and the Falklands, first click here and then shoot me an e-mail with the words “Cheesemans’ Last Southern Ocean Expedition” cut and pasted into the Subject Line.
The funny thing is that photographing from the rocking zodiac was extremely difficult as far as focus and framing were concerned, and the contrast was beyond extreme with the birds pretty much in the shade. At first I did not like any of the images from that one hour session. But converting the RAW for this one in DPP 4 really evened out the contrast. Folks are invited to check out the DPP RAW Conversion Guide that Arash and I teamed up on.
I wound up really liking the image and folks were nuts over it on FB. a
