Voici un groupe de sympatique petit pingouins torda, pris sur une falaise à l'ouest de l'Islande, sur laquelle ils se comptaient par centaines. Image prise en fin de journée, avec un cruel manque de lumière :-(

Sympa cette photo de famille !
Un cruel manque de lumière peut-être mais tu as bien su faire avec à ce que je vois ! ;-)
Je la trouve très bien cette photo.

Hi Vincent,
this is an brilliant clear and sharp picture. I like these guys, they remember me of the old men in the muppet show,or not? And they are pretty. Good job and thank you for sharing it here.

Lovely capture Vincent.

Excellent handling of the light here - not burning the white and still a lot of details in the black and you even got the eyes too - very good. The pose is very cute and even add some action to the picture. I like the almost b/w colours and the composition is perfect. All over a very pleasant and interesting picture to look at.

Very good composition, with the bit of white background accentuating the head and the almost b/w colours accentuating the bits of orange-red in the two open beaks. The one on the left positioned strategically well at 1/3 catches the eye first and then it is guided in reading direction to the right, ending on the bird with closed beak. It almost has the feel of a film sequence with the bird piping up first then shutting up, and staring in the direction the eye was lead in, ending near another 1/3 position. It is a very nice curve ending downwards at the cliffs and you start asking yourself what it is that they are staring at below. This a a marvellously dynamic eyecatcher (and eye-guider!), I love it!

what a beautiful specie. amazing colour scheme..

Hello Vincent

Interesting birds. New to me, so thanks for posting this shot and introducing them. The white markings on the beak are so unusual. The light may not have been at it's best for you but you have the exposure just right on both the black and white. Nice POV with crisp, clear details and excellent focus. Nice work. Thanks.

Superb shot Vincent!
It is absolutely perfect and very interesting.
I like it very much.
WELL DONE!

These birds are beautiful!
Very sharp shot - colours are almost B&W.
Great work.
