watching the big rock

South Georgia. Gentoo penguin on the shore.

Thank you very much for all your comments.
You can see the same picture in bigger size and better resolution on my new blog.

Nice one. Great size contrast & depth. And the stormy sea. Great that you captured the penguin but, you know, the photo might be more striking without the little guy in the foreground.

J'aime bien la compo, la parallèle entre ce tout petit pingouin solitaire au premier plan, qui semble comme désemparé devant cet immense rocher au loin. Une belle image, très originale et très forte.

On dirait que le pingouin imite le pilier.... :-)

I think the penguin works well because you get two interesting verticals in rhythm. But that's just my thought. A nice combination of the monumental and the intimate.
