Hi Piotr,
Top shot witha very unusual POV. Makes for a strong image. Nice colour and composition. I'd be tempted to use PS CS2 Shadow/Highlight tool to see if you can bring out a little eye detail in the pengiun. I've posted a WS to illustrate.
Cheers
Paul

Hi Piotr

This is a simply magnificent capture!
I've taken a look at you galery here as well as at your site and they are wonderful...full of superb shots! Congratulations and keep up the good work!
I understand you are working in "rather" cold conditions with no internet acces...so i can only say that we all are waiting for May and then to see all the fantastic shots you took there :)
At this one i think the mood is special. The dimm light on the penguin creates a good atmosphere and that great sky in the back looks amazing.
Very well done!

Bravo and TFS

Witaj,
Znalazlam to zdjecie przypadkiem i musze powiedziec ze jest bardzo imponujace. Nigdy czegos takiego nie widzialam. Sliczne kolory, swietna atmosfera i bardzo dobra technika. "Odblysk" swiatla na piersi pingwina wyglada super. Jedyna rzecz ktora moglaby bys poprawiona to balans swiatla. Moze warto byloby pobawic sie photoshopem i "wydobyc" oko z cienia.
Ogolnie, zdjecie strzsznie mi sie podoba!
Pozdrowienia!

Hello,

Congratulation for the composition, maybe the penguin should be Highlight a bit more.

The composition here is a great. What I really love though is that tiny bit of reflected orange light on the penguin's chest. That is incredibly beautiful and really makes the shot for me. If this were mine, it'd be in a frame.

Fantástica captura Piotr, tanto estética como técnicamente.
Me encanta el bajo punto de vista captado brindando un fondo de ensueño con bellos colores y el maravilloso reflejo sobre el pecho del ave.
El encuadre es muy apropiado, aunque el marco me parece algo grueso, pero sólo es una opinión personal.
Gracias y felicitaciones por esta excelsa presentación.
Un cordial saludo desde Buenos Aires... Ricardo

Fantastic capture Piotr, so much aesthetic as technically.
I love the low point of view captured offering a dream background with beautiful colors and the wonderful reflection on the chest of the bird.
The framing is very appropriate, although I believe that the frame is something thick, but it is only a personal opinion.
Thank you and congratulations for this sublime presentation.
A cordial greeting from Buenos Aires... Ricardo

Very simple shot yet a lovely result. The colours are stunning and the composition is just perfect as it is. Another option would have been to shoot the single bird from as far away as possible to have it standing alone in an expanse of space!

Hi Piotr,
Good to see a photo from you again. Are you still enjoying your time down south?
This photo is just amazing. Wildlife and a sunset. Such great low POV and that reflection of the sun on the penguin is amazing.
TFS,

Fantastic! The composition, the light and not least the subject!
It is a very unusual thisng to see pictures of wild penguins, and this picture does it so well!
Its almost as if you told the penguin to pose for you in the antartic wilderness.
Bravo!
