    We came across these tracks on an ice berg. The penguin had jumped out of the water, walked up the berg, and then slid down back into the water creating an oblong kinda horseshoe on the berg. I liked the curve.

    Hi Jay, Good eye on this. Almost looks like a backbone imprint. I like the curvature but would have wished for a cleaner imprint on the upper left...

    Hi Dave, if you would see how they walk/hop, especially up a steep berg, you would understand the mess they make turning a corner. :D

    I will next post the entire track.
    Cheers, Jay

    Way Cool Jay Good eye !!

    Might increase contrast a little more, some of the pre set curves in curves do a fine job !! Before doing my own usually give them a try !!! Excellent image !!!

    Jay I like the shadows in the tracks and the slight to mildly dark contrasts here. Good catch. The lines from bottom to the upper left draws my eye, in a good way. Well done.

    Very interesting, Jay! I don't know why that image strikes me so funny, but it does. :D:D
