Hello James,
Excellent camera work as always, love how the second from the right looks like he is snowboarding down the slope. Once again your note has educated me about our world, thank you.

Wow, James!

The light has created a rainbow of blues and purples on the snow to show its contours! I love the detail of the penguins, particularly the one which is descending at speed! What an amazing sight!

kind regards,
Bev :-)

Excellent capture James, it reminds of the National Geographic flick I watched in 05. Narrated by Morgan Freeman, the "March of the Penguins" was an exceptional movie..As is your image :)
Very well done.

Hello James.
Very beautiful. Great capture. A nice touch of humour. And I like the composition how you included a great deal of the ice that, for me, accentuates the penguins surroundings. Very well done.
Best regards, Steve.

Hi James,

Just amazing to see these penguins marching along in the snow. What a sight this must have been. Love the one who looks like he's skiing without skis. They show up so well on the snow.

Hi James,
Splendid shot of a beautiful cold place which I will never see with my eyes. The Penguins are having a gala time there it seems and I like the details on the ice block. Fantastic blue water which sets up a nice tone. Excellent POV to portray this charming scene and very nicely composed. Kudos.
TFS.

Hi James,
What a magnificent sight. The row of penguins and the stunningly colored and shaped ice make for a awesome photo. I really love the pose of the penguin, second from the right. It looks like he's in the perfect snowboard postion sliding down the slope while the rest is strugeling to go forward. He must be the dude of the pack.

How fun! This makes me want to go and join them, though I might find the water a tad chilly. The water is stunning - not hot like so many photos that have water and ice side by side. Stunning capture, just stunning. This entire photo is amusing, and it's got terrific detail. (Did I mention that it's full of emotion - mainly what a wonderful time they're having or seem to be having anyway?)

Hi James,
Thanks for your kind critique of my Teton photo. I haven't time now to look at all your recent photos but I am always a sucker for penguins so picked this one. Penguin photos almost always make me smile and yours is no exception. I love the contrast of their little tuxedos against the ice, their playful postures and the wonderful blues of the ice. It is a super shot.

TFS
