Description

Just returned from Antarctica in time to congratulate all the wonderful finalists. Have a lot of catching up to do, so can't comment individually. This is a Gentoo penguin and chick on Cuverville Island in the Antarctic (there's another chick under there too).
Morning sun; Sigma 70-300@220mm; f5.3@1/250 sec. Cropped and minor levels adjustments in PSP8.
