Hi Andreas, pretty cool image. Perfect exposure, good details on the white. Like the little bit of blue sky poking thru and the storm. For me, I wish the penguins a little bigger in the frame, but that would be a very different image. Loi

That is one great looking mountain! Perfectly composed image, with the penguins appealingly lined up below. I agree with Loi about the blue poking through the sky - really nice. I kind of would be tempted to darken the penguins' blacks a tad, but I was not there to see what it was like at the time. Great work!

Andreas, I love the feel to this image. The towering mountain and tiny penguins give a sense of time and place. I did have to study this though to appreciate the penguins and I find that by doing a browser scroll and trimming from the top, my eye seems more able to appreciate the birds. I offer this with caution because I wonder if I saw a large print of this if I would have a different impression.

The penguins are plenty big enough for me... The perfect small in the frame wildlife photo with the landscape being the star.
Very nice Andreas, although I think there is more that could be done with the sky.
Pretty excellent as is...

Majestic Andreas, a beautiful landscape and the huddled groupings of penguins amongst the mist is wonderful. Pleasure to view!

What a great looking landscape and I love that rough looking mountain. The chilly Penguins tell the story of the tough environment they live in. Nice frame

I really like this Andreas, agree with Dan about the Blacks of the Penguins, but overall, a great shot.

Looks pretty darned good to me the colours are muted, I have never been anywhere near there but this is how I imagined it would be.
