Alone on the ice Photo

Photographer’s Note

An Adélie Penguin (Pygoscelis adeliae) on a berg. The life seems hard is this environment for such a little bird.

Un manchot d'Adélie pensif sur un bout de banquise. La vie dans un tel environnement n'a pas l'air facile !

Hi Antoine,
So you found life in the remotest of the areas;quite blue and glacial, and the penguin has stolen the limelight.
Well Done,
Rajeev

Bonjour Antoine

Quelles couleurs! Superbement captées!

Composition amusante. Le pinguin permet de mettre en perspective la taille du glacier et sa couleur si particuliere.

Merci

A dark point in the glacial colour of the ice. This is a very good photo!

Hello Antoine,

This is the best image I've seen today. Excellent composition, and by putting the penguin in a corner, you've accentuated its isolation. Regards from Virginia,

Nice shot again, Great contrast between the pinguin and it's surroundings. I like the real lonely appearance, well done. I also like the sharpness of the pinguin, and the ice in the upper left corner. I just wished that there was some more contrast in the icy shot, revealing more details in and on the ice, especially on the bottom and right side. But I can figure things like that are difficult with all the white on Antartica.

Great job. Tfs.

Salut Antoine,

Belle capture on dirait que le manchot se demande 'par où vais-je pouvoir passer?' face à ce 'mur' de glace.La couleur de la glace est superbe.Très belle composition.

Salutations.

encore une photo exceptionnelle, tu es certain que ce n'est pas une vedette du grand écran, en repérage au pôle?

quelle instinct pour déclencher au juste moment
