Date Uploaded: Feb 13, 2007

 Taken at the Biodôme de Montréal, in the Antarctic exhibit (I know, it's almost cheating, but hey, you don't hear about too many school trips to the Antarctic.) If people argue DNMC, I'll concede...

Almost straight off the camera: opened RAW in CS2, used CS2's "Auto" white balance, then resized and cropped.

A bit grainy, lacking contrast in the dark bits, and not very exciting composition. I guess its a crop from a tiny bit of the centre of a picture?

A bit blurry and their heads are so black I can't see their eyes. Try a little less contrast.

This image needs to be more in focus, but other than that i like the composition.

Fine composition with repetition of design in the birds. I would have liked more sharpness in the subject and less detail in the background.

This picture seems to have a little noise, which in my opinion, detracts from the beautiful penguins!

It would be a much better photograph if focus was sharper.

I would like to see more light on the penguin's faces. Its like a black blob where their eyes should be.
