King penguins are amazingly beautiful birds.

Having been to the Falklands a number of times now I can concentrate my efforts on images different than those taken on previous trips. And, with dates already secured for next year I look forward to returning once again to this magical place.

I can't believe so many views and not one comment. A beautiful portrait, wonderful comp and looks so intimate.

Chas, Excellent exposure on all the colours, especially the blacks. I like the lazy pose, and just wish for more room top and left.

[Mark Dumbleton]

Super image - great detail and exposure here. Like the composition. Well thought out!
Composition as is works for me. Well done. I hope one day to be able to photograph these Penguins.

[Kiran Poonacha]

loved the frame, great colours, and nice details...

[Dave Barnes]

Love the graphic feel to this image. Very well exposed with nice detail and colour. Great comp.

[Marina Scarr]

Great job exposing here, and I love the pose, the BG, the texture, the curves, the colors. I do feel, however, that the capture could benefit from a tad more space top and left.
