Many wore their brown coats to display their newness to the world while the adults were shedding their winter coats.

Whoa!
That's an amazing capture.
And I'm seeing brown penguins for the first time. Didn't know such a thing existed. I learned something new today. :) Thank you for capturing and sharing this image. :)

I really love this picture its like a large meeting of penguins. Wonderful job! The mix of brown and black and white penguins is great there are 100's of them. I hope I can someday get the chance to take pictures of something like this.

Great composition! The contrast between the young and the older penguins gives image some depth and texture. I want a poster! :)
