The Penguin Book Of Irish Nuns

[Overbeyond]

Ignore the title if you must, just me in jovial mood.
What do you feel about the shot.

[CallumW]

I really like this shot, I like the colours in it especially the water.

I would have like it more if you would have got down more to their level, instead of shooting down on them. Also, maybe a little more frontal. Great title, though.

[Greg McCary]

Nice subject and composition, I wish I could see their eyes a little better. Or are they closed?

I got a great giggle from the title and enjoyed the water color. I would have liked to see more of their eyes/face- it looks like there might be more going on there. I would have to say "more penguin please"

[Mr Yuck]

I like the angle, kind of shows scale. A smaller DoF would be ideal to set the Nuns apart from the water though IMO

good title

I like how little dry land you have at the bottom of the image. The water color works here too although it looks disgusting to swim in.

[Overbeyond]

Thanks to you all. The crits you pointed out are valid indeed.
Dont think I can do anything about the eyes though Greg; Irish nuns are meek and humble and walk with heads down and eyes closed!

I normally do not like most animal shots that are typically looking down at them from a common viewpoint. However, you have used a well thought out composition to make this into something definetley enjoyable. The two penguins walking into the frame, little bit of rock below their feet and glowing green background with the water that really sets them off, even though they have very little detail. They are almost like silhouettes against the luminous bg.
Pretty good

I like it!!

Thanks Gary and Tyson.
Yes little or no detail in the blacks Gary.
