Taken on the Antarctic peninsula these Adelie penguins all wait in a large group by the waters edge. Then they all go in one great rush. My first drop shadow. Let me know what you think.

Excellent action Richard! You don't see to many penguins on this forum so I think it is very cool of you to share them with us

I love the OOF penguins in the back doing exactly the same thing, give a sense of depth! All together very cool

Great action capture, Richard! My only suggestion might be to leave a smidge more room along the top so that some of the background penguins aren't decapitated (although there might not have been any way to avoid decapitating a few).
