Gentoo penguin in surf, Sea Lion, Falkland Islands
As this was my 5th visit to the Falkland's I concentrated on unique images with a different perspective than in years past. I am already looking forward to returning to this magical place in early 2012.

Great piece of action!
Love the sharpness. I would like to see more of it (bigger picture).
I love this! Very dynamic and interesting. Agree about wanting to see bigger picture.
Excellent details Chas. Great capture.
Charles, great capture. We could argue about crop and position on bird in the frame but I don't think they actually matter. You have captured a great scene expertly

Having a hard time with that image. I agree the freezing of the action and the sharpness are top notch but I struggle to "see" the bird. The water drops at the top and the lack of light in the eye contribute to it. Feels a bit dead to me. Sorry...

The image was to not intended to be an ID of the species. My intent being to illustrate the conditions the subject endures on a day to day basis for survival. Battling the elements is part of the overall editorial story.
Best,

Excellent action image . The water adds to the mystery !
I think it's a great capture in challenging conditions. Perhaps it's a bit dark... JR
