Galapagos Penguin
Taken from the water (after diving) with a Kodac DX 7650 point-and-shoot in a waterproof housing. Large crop from bottom to remove oof closer rocks, usual color-correction and sharpening.

Another cutie, Sandy! :) Perhaps a little too centered?

Isn't it fun shooting critters? I dont get much chance...but it is quite a rush sometimes.

Rick - you'll have to come out with me to shoot birds one of these days if you like shooting critters...

This is named the "Galapagos Penguin". :razz:
The cold ocean currents run through the Galapagos, keeping the penguins happy and the divers needing wetsuits.
This is the only place on earth where both penguins and cactus exist together.
