Pingu!


 
BetterPhoto.com Photo Contest Finalist   Pingu!
Pingu!
Has anyone seen the kids show called Pingu? It is a cartoon about penguins, and they only talk in penguin language. My son was once addicted to that show, and whenever I see penguins that's what I think of... Had quite a bit of work to do on this one. Mostly cropping and cloning other penguins out of the shot... Taken through glass at the Biodome here in Montreal. Original is in discussion... Happy Monday everyone!

  Great work on this one, Diane. I do love penguins. I'll be visiting them in their natural habitat in a couple of months.

  Great capture...I can't believe there's a kids' show that my kids don't watch (or maybe they do, and just don't tell me)!

  Great capture, Diane! Love your Pingu! Wish my son was with me...he loves penguins and Pingu. I had the pingu software with one of my old PC and he mastered it at the age of 5

  Love what you did with the shot. My children are almost grown...we must have missed out on Pingu.

I thought it was the species of penguin or something!

  Actually Diane, the 'penguin' language is a conversational dialect of "Broccoli", eh… (he, he, he)

Marvelous capture, presentation, and photograph, I love the coloring and the effects are magnificent. Very well done, my very dear friend - your good friend, Allan

  Diane,

This is a awesome photograph. I love Penguins! I don't think it is because I live where it is cold, I think its because they are just cute! There is only one bird I like more, and that's the Puffin. Wonderful post processing work. Well presented, too!

  I love what you did with this shot! The reworked version is so much more powerful that the original and you can't even tell that you did it!
