Some lovely photos in the set. I really like the 'human' qualities of penguins, the stances like in #14.

Some great shots there. Really like the way you have limited depth of field.

Thanks for the comments.

I try to make the subject stand out by using a large aperture to limit the dept of field plus using a full frame camera also goes to help this effect aswell. If i remember correctly i had taken these at dusk with the light failing rapidly.

These are fantastic. Especially love no 8 - "Are you looking at me!" - and 17 brings home where you were...
