    Jay:

    Sharp, funny "hair"

    somehow, the tight crop works with a penguin. Nice low shooting angle.

    Wish the light was more even on the face/eyes, and that the BG was a bit more even in the RUC.

    Look forward to more.

    Cheers

    Great shot of a fantastic bird Jay! Love the disheveled "hair", which makes the photo. A better look at the eyes would have been nice, as would a more even exposure on the bird. But love it anyway.

    Comp works well, and you dont even need any gel for that hairdo.
