Excellent !

It could be a black and white picture with just some orange added !

The wite see with the black ground are perfectly linked with the colours of the pinguins !

Really nice !

Good catch, Piotr
I like framing, colour balance, sharpness... but who's Pamela Anderson???
Cheers!

Hi Piotr,

Excellent composition and timing.
I just wish there was a deeper depth of field to catch all the birds in the queue. But oh well, it is a detail compares to the general quality and atmosphere of this photo.
Very nice picture.
Pascal.

You deserve credit just for being there, but this is a real cute picture. Walt Disney would be proud.

Best regards,
Lucia

That's great, it made me laugh! The composition is excellent, a line of Penguins who look as if they are some kind of chorus line, it's a fun image.

atlantida (2323) 2007-01-20 18:34

Hi again,
I just love your photographs, this one is one of the best I've seen on TE ...nature is so perfect and these beautiful animals ... I have no words ... excellent.

France (149) 2007-01-21 6:03

Splendid picture very well composed. I like the touch of color in this black and white atmosphere and the short DOF. Only first birds are sharp and then the others became more and more blur. So the eye come back on the first one.
Funny picture,
France

golden (791) 2007-01-22 11:22

This shot is perfect Piotr!
Great composition,framing and focus. The timing that you captured those cute penguins is perfect.Looks like they posed just for you...

Well done,
Chrysoula.

Are the penguins rehearsing some sort of dancing? Great shot, moment beautifully caught.

Good depth of field, absolutely wonderful composition!
I think I would prefer a slightly slimmer frame, but i'm just spliting hair!
Oh and did i mention i'm envoius of where your work takes you?

richwm (1209) 2007-04-25 3:23

Hi Piotr,

I love this photo, it's a masterpiece!

Perfect timing too to capture this humerous line of waddling penguins. I particularly like the tall one near the back who is looking off to the right (his left!). The composition is spot on as is your DOF.

Your frame is a bit overpowering in my opinion but everything else is tremendous. Well done and best regards from England.

Hi Piotr,
I like the dancing penguines.Wonderful tonality of colour and nice framing as well.
Regards.
Partha

pboehringer (770) 2007-05-01 17:51

Everything looks good here, but what it really makes it special is all the pinguins beeing tiltted to their right side. It gives the impression of intentional coreography. Training moment for when they will be on stage?
TFS, Peter

Aliine (1905) 2007-05-05 6:41

Hi Piotr,
So nice... I like this picture, very funny ;)
The compo and the colours are very very good!
All your pictures from Antartic are so beautiful, very good job ;)

A wonderful capture, Piotr! The birds appear as if well drilled for the march and it almost seems like the whole scene is choreographed (as someone else noticed). The determination on penguins' faces is priceless, accentuated even more by the bright "in-focus" eyes: one right on the horizontal top 1/3 of the foto; the other one - on the vertical right 1/3 of the photo. I also like the rythm created by penguins' red beaks and orange feet. Someone should write some music to for this picture. Well, I'll stop here, the composition is masterly in general and it goes straight to my favorites. :)

My compliments,
Kristaps

Très jolie farandole animée ! Un regard plaisant sur ces habitants des terres australes. Le cadrage est dynamique ! Bravo Piotr !

xenia_p (31) 2009-12-17 6:37

Hello Piotr,

perfect image! Very good timing. Where is this small company of penguins going? The open wings and the first penguin's imbalance make the picture so live. Also, the orange peaks ang legs make a great highlight in the almost b&w scene.
