Galapagos Penguins

I was bouncing around in a panga (like a zodiac) when I photographed these penguins. My goal was to photograph all three of them with their eyes open and then to get all three of them sharp. I took enough photos that one of them came out right!

It sure did!! Their eyes are open, they are all sharp, and they are watching you - can't ask for more!

Carol,
You sure did nail it. Sounds like a tough shoot. Larger image a must see for detail. Great sharpness and handling of the whites and blacks. Really like the angle of the rock they are on and the head angles are all the same. Super nice job in tough conditions Carol.

Very well done getting all three sharp in the conditions you describe Carol.

Looks nice and sharp and the diagonal comp is different but in a good way. The white patterns catch the eye as well
