Sunbath in Antarctica, a photo from Ross Sea, Lesser

Photographer's Note

An Adélie Penguin at the "beach" in Ross Sea. His dark back is facing the sun to accumulate heat.

Un manchot d'Adélie à la plage en mer de Ross. Il se met dos au soleil afin que son dos (plus foncé) accumule la chaleur.

Hi Antoine.
I like this composition. The small penguin at the end of the world:) The sea looks lovely from this POV.
I do feel that the shot would benefit from a frame as it is so big and "empty". Something to keep it all in place.

Cute picture. Nice composition. Reminds me of the upcoming movie "Happy Fee".

Very nice photo of the penguin. You almost feel the endlessness of Antarctica on this lonesome "beach".

Another nice work from Antartica. Very peaceful composition. Good contrast between snow and water and the lonely penguin pops out really nice. Superb focus.
Tfs.

328 people and only 4 left a comment? that's too bad. the detail and colour in this shot is good. the positioning of the penguin is well executed as well. a strong composition all-round.
