Love this shot! I like how the third penguin is looking back, like he might want to break ranks and go see if the snow is really whiter on the other side :-). Nice!

Penguins have their own unique society. I've learned that if you treat them as a group and imagine them as children you can watch them for hours observing their social structure. Plus, who doesn't think penguins are cute?Editing
minor exposure and contrast adjustmentsIn my camera bag
i travel light these days, the worst thing from my past was the memories of lugging pound and pounds of camera gear. thankfully now technology has improved and we can be satisfied with much much less.Feedback
penguins were originally a challenge for me. i always just got the normal penguin portrait until a friend of mine explained that he just treats them like humans. Once i started seeing them as miniature people it became easy to understand how to show them to others through my photography.
