Wonderful Yan, I love how you have added the filter ( I have done this myself for a reflection theme) and like you loved the results. I like the penguins and I like how you tried to trick me into thinking you were in Antarctica, I saw it is Montreal. Well done and simply a wonderful posting. I wish you would give me a call so you can teach me about my camera. I am struggling with it. Bravo Mon Amie.

Amitiés sincères

Hi Yan,
Nice capture with a good use of the natural luminosity. The used of the Flood filter is pertinent in that case, it don't denature the subject. Very well done Yan, TFS

Hi Yan,
I thought the reflections were real...that flood filter is very convincing.
The lighting on the original shot is very good, and three birds is just the right number.
Well seen,
Pete.

hi Yan

Penguins! A symbol and mascot of Linux OS, which is open source that I support and installed as alternative on all my PC or laptop. My favorite creature. Very nice color with reflection and such a fine pose in this composition.

Hi Yan,
Excellent clear and sharp capture. The reflections are priceless. Contrast is fine overall maybe a tad too dark, but it's not anoying. Well imprissive posting Yan, well done.

HI Yan
I must go and visit the biodome if only to see those penguins.
That is one awesome shot with the ripple reflections and the sunlight hitting their chests.
Well done

Yan,
Nice presentation of King penguins. I do have some in my portfolio that I photographed while in Antarctica last summer. http://www.treklens.com/members/wbriques/photos/page1.htm

The flood filter is really funny when we know how to use it.

Cheers,

Très bonne idée le "flood filter" cela ajoute à la présentation. Les détails
et la mise au point sont phénoménales. J'aime bien aussi la lumière

For a moment you had me fooled: I was thinking you actually went there (Antarctica)!!!!
Great shot with the fractured reflection in the water (wonderfully convincing PP work!).
It also gets to show that you can take pics there without flash and tripod ...... (besides, what good would a tripod be: animals do move!)
Cheers

I was surprised to see that you had traveled to the Antarctic. And then I read the rest of the note. I love the slightly wavey reflections in the water. The details on the feet is great. TFS. K2
