Neko Gentoos I Photo

Photographer’s Note

I liked this group of Gentoo penguins against the bluish ice cliff, each involved in a different activity.

Neko Harbour is a small bay on the west coast of Graham Land at 64 deg 50"S 62 deg 33' W. It was first seen and roughly charted by the Belgian Antarctic Expedition under Adrien de Gerlache, 1897-99 and named after Christian Salvesen's floating whaling factory Neko, which operated in the South Shetland Islands and Antarctic Peninsula area for many seasons between 1911 and 1924 and which often used this bay. There is a small hut here that was put up as an Argentinian refuge in 1949.

I love penguins! You've done the classic 'thirds' thing here and I think it works really well. You've got that zoom full-out again, I think... I like the compression of the mountain in the distance.

Very interesting subject and the broken lines "reveal" the penguins.

This is an outstanding picture from Antarctica. The photo has a clear color contrast: the white snow, the blue ice, and the black-white lovely penguins. Well done.
I like the WS, which made the photo contrast better.

David, I like this photo better than No 2 on the Gentoo penguins. They all seem to be more comfortable here and the fact they are at the edge looks appealing.
Thanks
