Hi Jackie,
I like the composition, image and capture. It looks like you got yourself a busy flock here. My only suggestion would be to clone out the birds that were cut off on the left and right sides of your frame; in addition, there is what looks to be an oof bird on the right hand side of the frame in the background that is catching my eye, blend in the blob with the water or clone it out too...I like the vibrant color of the water and the colors on the birds. your whites are in check...good show Jackie...:cool:

I'm sure there was not much you could to as far as moving around, did well withe the presented image. Well worth doing the suggestions by Gus Hoping to see penguins some day !!! :)

Jackie, I can't wait to see the penguins out in the open like that-agree w/ Gus' suggestions and do like the tones! Good job

[Axel Hildebrandt]

I would love to see these someday. Adding to the other comments, the image needs some CW rotation to straighten the horizon.

[Jackie Schuknecht]

Just to give you an idea of how many penguins are around on this island. Probably ten times the number shown. No one is allowed on shore and tourists are strictly regulated and you can only get here by boat.
They are tiny and cute.

[denise ippolito]

Neat!! The water is a beautiful color

[Nonda Surratt]

Oh how cute they are! Lucky you, Jackie!!!!

[Jeni Williams]
