    Tony:

    I like the comp., the full wing back pose () , foot up to give sense of motion.

    I am on my work monitor, so less detailed, but if you could tease out just a bit more detail in the bg snow, might give a bit more depth to the image.

    Looking forward to more, always good to see you posting.

    Cheers

    Hi Tony, very well exposed on the Penquin, and love the walking pose. These guys always amuse as they 'waddle' from left to right. Im seeing some form of detail in the snow BG, from about halfway up in the BG. Do you remember what the temp would have been, when you were out capturing these images? Cheers.

    Really cool trudging pose Tony, excellent exposure for the wonderful detail in the Penguin. I like it a lot as is... but agree with Randy that a bit more detail in the BG snow would add some more depth to the habitat.
    Very well done and a pleasure to view as I'm sure I'll never see one of these guys in the wild.

    Thanks for the comments and suggestions everyone. Stu, it was snowing at the time so a little above 0 Celsius but well layered so not at all cold - no gloves needed!
