[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The Gentoo Penguin, Pygoscelis papua, is easily recognised by the wide white stripe extending like a bonnet across the top of its head. Chicks have grey backs with white fronts. Adult Gentoos reach a height of 75 to 90 cm (30-36 in), making them the largest penguins outside of the two giant species, the Emperor Penguin and the King Penguin. They are the fastest underwater swimming penguins, reaching speeds of 36 km/h.

Hola Ferrán.
Un interesante documento fotográfico.
Bellos colores y combinación de ellos.
Magnífico enfoque central con una muy buena nitidez.
Saludos amigo, JL.

Hi Ferran
It is beautiful and also very educational shot. I like the idea with OOF penguin in background and on foreground Very good job
Krzysztof

I am really intrigued by this photo: is this an albino Gentoo??
By using a small depth of field you highlight - and draw attention to this unusual bird!!
Regards
Ingrid
