[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The Adélie Penguin, is a type of penguin common along the entire Antarctic coast and nearby islands. Aside from the storm petrel, they are the most southerly distributed of all seabirds. In 1830, French explorer Dumont d'Urville named them for his wife, Adélie. There are 38 colonies of Adelie penguins, and there are over 5 million Adelies in the Ross Sea Region.

Hi Ferran

I love penguins, they are the most funny birds. This is very nice shot with good composition. I post a workshop and lighten them a little bit. still i think it is possible to lighten it more. I hope you don't mind it.
Well done
TFS
