[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
It was Christmas Eve, the penguins were in their colony on the hills. In the morning wind changed direction for SE bringing snow storm. Penguins were siting on their nests and snow covered them - some of them were invisible, coveded completly by snow, others were cover only partial.

Hi Piotr

Lovely shot - great impression of movement. The positioning and focus on the eye is great.

Hi Piotr,
Really a cool capture, I never really thought about penguins standing so long in one place that they would eventually get completely covered with snow. This is a reall fantastic image that shows some of the challenges penguins face. :)

Hi
Great shot telling a whole story of natural history
Great
