Awww. Poor little fella. He looks like someone ruined a surprise for him.
Very nice clarity, sharpness, and color tones.
Great off-centered compo and nice PP work to make it more eyecatching.

Oh, dear...he looks exhausted and hungry. I hope it is just an off moment. Great catch, and the simple composition adds poignancy to the scene. Well done:)

Great moody photo.
You get tired even looking at it (with a smile)

... seems as like the bird's a little bit disappointed.... it's a looooong way to Tipperary ;-)

Thx for making me smile upon, H.:)

Hi Edwin
Good Idea and great composition. Very original photo for the theme.
thanks for sharing.

Hi Edwin.

You could almost imagine the Penguin saying "water......must have......water....."!

Excellent and humourous image. I like the reflection in the wet sand. The poor little bird looks totally knackered from walking across the sand - but not far to his habitat and, hopefully, safety...

Great shot. Regards, Paul.

Good morning Edwin

Aww this is just sooo cute.. really made me smile.. just want to give him a hug.. poor little mite he is..

Great shot, nicely balanced image excellent idea and really good framing that suits the shot well

TFS and for joining in the theme

kindr regards Helen

Hey Edwin

Poor pinguin, lonely in his island and tends as company a stone.
Beautiful presentation and visual!
his reflex is wonderful.
Congratulations

Thanks for sharing Edwin Isn't that just the loveliest place! I was there recently and two of my friends from Finland enjoyed a wonderful time there just before Christmas 2007 actually swimming with the penguins at Boulders Beach. This is a lovely photo and have some fun aspect too. I will share some of my own shots as well I think
Regards and let's see more of the same!
