Galapagos Penguin

[Dick Glover]

It is a treat to watch these little guys swim and to swim with them. Taken Jan. 31, 2009 at Isabela Island, Galapagos, Ecuador. Midmorning, clear sky.
Canon 50D, ISO 800, 28-300 @300mm, f/6.4, 1/400, Aperture priority.

HI Dick - Wo that water is clear - love the bubbles and even the shadows of the bubbles are visible :) Your exposure is good.

IMHO - A unconventional pose, the lack of eye contact leaves me feeling little connection to the subject - I think the strong shapes here would work better as a peice or art rather than a photo...

Uncle Gus is good at this - Hey uncle Gus........

I like it as presented Unusual angle and placement Hope you got some U/W !!!!.... btw another approach would have been more room !!!

Thanks for the comments. I do have underwater shots, lots of them, but using a point-and-shoot in a bag is somewhat limiting and so far I haven't thought any were worth sharing. I may work on a couple and see what can be done. The are a few shark and turtle shots that have potential.

Very nice shot. I like it as presented. The bubbles are a nice touch giving a sense of motion. To me the white parts of the penguin look a little hot, I would tone them down a bit.
