[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
It was just a moment. The weather is changing so fast in South Shetland Island. That day it was nice and sunny, in one moment storm came. I saw this rainbow and a group of penguin near my home (Polish Antarctic Station "Arctowski") I took camera with me and ran there. The rainbow was visible maybe for 5 minutes long.

I was for 15 months on Antarctica and all time long I was trying to make interesting and not standard picture of penguins. This shot (with Adelie penguin) is one of few pictures I'm very happy of the result.

Thank you for visiting my gallery,
best regards, Piotr Angiel

Witaj Piotrze!

Fascynujące zajęcie - czytałem Twoje intro. Galeria także wspaniała, przepiękne są te surowe krajobrazy czy choćby scenki takie jak tak. Wspaniałe zdjęcie. Tęcza nawet niekonieczna ale skoro była świetnie wkomponowałeś ją w obraz.

pozdrawiam

Hi Piotr

It is always a great pleasure and a strong moment to see what you are bringing back from the Polish Antartic Station. One interesting and beautiful detail is the belly of the penguin, wet and brilliant. Geraldine

hello Piotr, long time no see :)
superb photo, I agree that this is a decisive moment - the rainbow, the light, the pose of the bird - everything has come together for a winner shot. but it would still be nothing without you choosing the composition and the low point of view that works perfectly to place the rainbow as a frame for the penguin. excellent work, my compliments.

with kind regards,
Kristine
