Love those first two images, the group one is exquisite!

The bright orange beaks against the turquoise sea, the combination of head angles and poses (caught at the height of action) combined with the frozen droplets of surf and the out of focus pristine sand make for a heady combination. 🙂

If you had rented some stunt penguins and hired a private beach for a shoot I don’t think you could have done any better!! 😉

Regards from the UK,

Julian.

I love the way you get the whites so perfectly exposed; that is almost a signature in itself for your photographs. 🙂 You didn’t ask this but image #2 is my favorite. The little bit of the bird’s tail showing is a perfect addition and I just love everything about the image..
