Excellent exposure and superb image all round John.
Quite a big colony of these fellas on BBC Planet Earth last night.

Hello John
You've certainly got to stop down these canon cameras to handle the whites! Excellent image, and well taken in what appears to be quite a harsh light.
Best wishes

Was this a trip with Andy Rouse? A very tidy shot, looks like he got up and posed for you.

Hi John
This is a stunning portrait. Perfect pose and exposure. The water droplets on the bird are great and add to the effect. No doubt you had a fantastic trip.
cheers
Sean
p.s. maybe clone out the little white blob on the end of the beak, (a minor nit pick, feel free to ignore me...!)

WOW I'm so jealous of those whites you've held there perfectly in that light. Pose is wonderful too.

Ah of couse John I know that, I hope you helped him lots. Hey a guy from our society was on the same trip, he said Andy had been there for a couple of months and his penguin surfing beech he kept as secret. Our society fella had stonking pic's as well, looks a trip well worth going on.

Beauty of a shot! Although I think I'd crop a bit off the RHS!
Stunning stuff.
