"If it is possible to imagine a piece of beef, odiferous cod fish and canvas-backed duck roasted together in a pot, with blood and cod-liver oil for sauce, the illustration would be complete for WHAT A PENGUIN TASTE LIKE". Dr. Frederick Cook, the Belgica Expedition.

I confess I was curious to try roasted penguin, but after this description, I give up!

PS was to find the correct balance between contrast and brightness to show the white and dark feathers.

Cheers,
Wellington

" Se for possível imaginar um pedaço de carne de boi, junto com um cheiroso bacalhau e pato de costas duras grelhado, em uma panela com sangue e óleo de figado de bacalhau, esta ilustração seria completa para descrever qual é o sabor de pinguim." Dr. Frederick Cook, expedição do Bélgica.

COnfesso que estava curioso para saborear um pinguim assado, mas desisti depois de encontrar esta descrição!
PS foi encontrar o balanço exato entre contraste e brilho para mostrar tanto as penas brancas como as mais escuras.

Abraço,
Wellington

Very nice colours and textures. It took me a while to make out what was wrong with the second penguin. But I worked it out; nice puzzle! ;-)) I hope for the second penguin their smell is better than their taste! (as for the one on the right!) Thanks
