This is just excellent Nikolay!
I can feel the freezing wind and the snow like needles against my face. You have captured the mood excellent here!
And what makes this composition excellent is the clear, detailed penguine walking towards you. He is placed perfectly in the picture and adds a sense of humour and life to this harsh place.
Just wonderful. Very good job!

Great atmosphere and so well taken! A fantastic landscape that slowly reveal itself through the blizzard, a faded light that make us feel the wind and the cold, and of course the penguin that makes this picture so special, he's ideally placed in the composition and he's so sharp and clear, coming toward us, he looks so alone and so determined to go on! He brings a touch of life and warmth.
Really well done.

It's amazing take away the blue sky and you can fell the temperature drop just by looking at your picture. The snow can be seen blowing in the wind. And that penguin - he just adds the finishing touch to this picture. I glad you don't put your camera away when the weather gets bad - the difficulty in taking pictures is much appreciated.
