Well I know some have been waiting patiently awhile for this. I finally completed it after 3 months and a "couple" of hours here and there.

This link will get you started: www.freshairphotos.com/latn.html

There are 123 images spread over 5 pages of thumbnails. Enjoy!

Three are interactive images as well!

Simply amazing, Don. Obviously a trip of a lifetime.

AWESOME! One in particular that really stands out to me is the shot of the guanaco in front of the cloudy Cuernos.... incredible! I also really dig the penguin feather details. And the blue Salisbury Plain landscape with penguins reflection. Sooo many sweet shots.

Too bad there's nothing to photograph down there :frown:. I like too many photos to list, but those penguins jumping off icebergs really stand out.

GREAT combo of wildlife and landscape. :toast:

Holy cow, Don! All three portfolios are just stunning! You should be very, very proud of what you achieved down there. The dancing/jumping penguins bit is a great idea, too.

Fantastic stuff here, Don! I couldn't pick a favorite, but one that sticks out for me is the penguin diving off the iceberg. :toast:

Incredible photos Don! What a great trip that must have been. The mountain photos are stunning and of course the penguin shots are great too. Beautiful work.

Loved 'em!
You did a great job down there.

On a side note, I think your website is extremely attractive. Did you build it yourself?

Beautiful work Don!

Holy smoke! Looks like the collection of a lifetime. After a quick initial look, I think the Adelie diving off the iceberg and the seal pups chasing the King penguin really stand out among an amazing collection. I'm a big fan of stories about Shackleton and the other "golden age" arctic explorers, so I'm really excited to see pictures of S. Georgia, especially Grytviken (another beautiful one, by the way).

Sun Dance (Patagonia) and Salisbury Plain are my two favorites.

Don these are awesome. As mentioned fbefore - the trip of a lifetime and you executed VERY nicely!! Too many fantastic shots to pick one fav.

So many shots I really love. I tend to like a lot of photos from many artists but the ultimate judge for me is what the answer is to the question "Would I be willing to hang any of these on my walls at home?" and the answer for me is unequivocally YES. You have some really gorgeous shots there that I would be proud to look at for many years.

Great job.
