those three pinguins are so different than other pinguins which are sorrounding them... so contrast.

Life is safer at the colony, where predators are few and company is close.

This is an amazing photo since he got such a close shot of them and he was able to capture three penguins that look the same and then they are surrounded by penguins that look so different.
I like how the photo is close up on the penguins and how they are not far off in the background.

what a subtle photo of contrasts...color,hues, textures and impressions! offtopic +/-: its very nice to have the comments all in one row/page with the updated layout for a simple overview, instead of flipping thru various pages which left "early" input often relegated into the back drop.
