What a comic moment that you captured! You could write a whole story around this moment. The reflections are very beautiful and I like how you have managed DOF to emphasize your subjects.

I like your picture so much. Regards, Deniz.

Great, another Antartica shot! I was waiting for that! Very nice moment you've caught here. I like these pinguins on the right, the left one seeming to 'attack' the most right one. One's watching, one is laying on the ice, and one sleeping? Very nice, 5 different postures caught. The DOF is extreme, very good, this focusses the attention to the pinguins.
The sharpness is sublime. Contrast between pinguins and surroundings is good, background contrast not so, but I think not so important.

Amazing job you've done here with the long lens and teleconverter.
Really nice. Thumbs up!

More of these please!

Hello Antoine! Great shot and wonderful perspective! Nice colours and clarity! Well done! Lili

Bonjour Antoine,

Encore un très beau cliché! Les pinguins et les couleurs sont d'une netteté impressionante.

Vraiment très réussi

Bravo et merci

Tony

:-)))
Trop fun... Incroyable, les expressions qu'ils ont tes manchots, pour un peu on aurait envie de les faire parler dans des bulles, comme sur les BD...
En tout cas, celui de droite est en train de se prendre une sacrée remontée de bretelles, wow... je parie que c'est sa femme, à gauche :-D
Merci Antoine pour ce bon moment !

Ouaaaou !

Magnifique, la mise au point est parfaite, l'expression des pinguins est intéressante.

Bonne continuation,

Ludovic

Hi Antoine,
and this one is superb... look the expression of those pinguins!!!! Adorable! Well seen, and the timing was very precise.

Saludos, Paula.

Bonsoir Antoine,
Effectivement c'est une belle image où les attitudes des manchots sont caractéristiques (d'après ce qu'on en sait par le film !). Rien à redire c'est beau ! Merci.
Gérard

Hi Antoine,

What a great moment to capture these pinguins.
I like the beautiful colours and sharpness.
A very good reflection and an excellent point of view.
Thanks for sharing.

Greetings, Nel

C'est magnifique. Très lumineux et si mignon.

awesome photo - the angle it is taken from is excellent.

I like your photo very much. The colors are so sharp and clear. Amazing. I'm quite jealous of your experience...

good photo.

I love this shot, especially the argument of the two on the right and the one in the middle being annoyed by it all. (at least that's what it looks like). :o)

Hi!
This photo has been chosen by me to represent country in which it was taken in thema "Around the world", it is a very good and sucesful capture and excellent photo!

this is almost a "wazzup doc?" scenic.....
TFS
nice shot

Wow! Very nice picture. Excellent!
Daryoush

Hi Toine, what a nice picture you capture here! I like it very much. It really attract my attention. :)

Salut Antoine merci de nous faire partager la vie de ces petits pingoins ils sont si attachants,la netté de l'action est parfaite tu as su isoler le sujet avec la profondeur de champ bravo.Alain

Penguinishous!!!

Five faces of a penguin. So many personalities :)

Penguintastic! :)

Hi Antoine,
really great shot, you captured the moment!
What else can I add that has not been said already?
Fantastic!
Sabrina

Hello Antoine,

what a shot!! I think it's just perfect, composition, colours, contrast...fantastic!

igor

Hi,
really great capture. I like the two comics Penguins at the right.

Eric

Bonsoir Antoine,

I spent a few months in the Antarctic many years ago, long before a camera was affordable, so these sort of shots bring back happy memories. I like the way you've composed this, the small ice shelf is well placed, the abstract reflections are wonderful and your dof is excellent. What makes it extra special are the two on the right having a domestic, with the one in the middle mildly interested and the two on the left completely disinterested! the two on the right are a bit like many married couples I know! A superb post, well done.

Amicalement

Stephen

Bonjour
Antoine
Je découvre ta galerie qui est superbe, tes photos sont superbes et les thèmes abordés sont souvent certains de mes thèmes favoris.
cette image est vraiment magnifique et trés réussie techniquement, quel chance de pouvoir faire un tel cliché.
Bravo

This popped up on the home page. What a marvellous photo. One of the finest I have seen.

Envidio con un envidia sana la opurtunidad, el momento y la calidad de tu trabajo.
Felicidades.

Hi Antione.
beutiful! If you like penguins I suggest you to see 'march of the penguins' a documentary about Empire penguins. Coming from a French director, Luc Jacquet, the Oscar-winning family documentary March Of The Penguins would have to be a love storyfor you.

Bonjour Antoine,
Un très beau rendu de cette "scène de ménage"! Le focus est particulièrement réussi et complète une netteté excellent des "personnages" principaux. J'aime beaucoup les reflets sur cette eau glacée.
Superbe!

Moi qui ne suis pas particulièrement fan des photos d'animaux, j'avoue que celle ci me plaît beaucoup !
La compo est équilibrée, la map faite au bon endroit, et la pdc bien gérée
J'aime ces couleurs et cette teinte froide qui rafraîchissent bien en ce moment

Very beautiful picture...
The contrast of the pinguins colors is just great!!
TFS
Have a nice day

Hi,

Penguins are so lovely creatures. I like the look of the one in the middle. Very nice pale blue colour and the reflections.
Merci Antoine

Malgorzata

Wonderful picture. POV, sharpness... perfect!

Thanks for sharing!

Hi Antoine. Very original and clear photo of penguines in their natural environment. Excellent composition from nature. TFS. Murray.

well the composition is perfect, the ensemble amusing...just great!
thank you it makes for a nice start of the day here!
anna

Hi Antoine,
Very good composition. The thickness of the ice is visible. The posture of the pinguins is funny, there is good captured scene. It seems they have some words, a neighbour has the intention to get involved, while others are not interested at all. What a simularity with the humans world!
Regards Henk

Just wonderful,
But feeling a little bit jealous, because I couldn't see it with my own eyes :)
