Well, my Masters entry looks better than my original free study entry, so I've swapped them. Everyone's zoo pics have been doing well in the Free Studies, so here's my gratuitious zoo photo. :) Sell-out? Who me?

We had yearly passes to Sea-World, and this is my first entry from there! I certainly didn't make good use of that did I?

Editing is some dodge/burn, minor cloning, Clarify, curves, selective sharpening and selective blurring. This wasn't my first choice for editing, but some minor adjustments has made a nice shot I hope.

Oh by the way, this is actually an adult Little Blue Pengiun (also known as Fairy Penguins). These ones aren't blue, but they are the same species.

Gary was pissed.

Oh, sure, he probably shouldn't have drank as much as he did that night, and he probably shouldn't have drank what he did so FAST, and he most definitely shouldn't have passed out on the couch in the living room.

But what right did that give them!?

So now, covered in non-water soluble paint, he showed up for work amidst the laughter of his colleagues.

He would get the back, one day.

Very cute, great capture. Would enjoy a little more eye contact but well done overall. 7

cute. I get the feeling it is a little overly sharpened. 6

Very cute. Crop feels a little tight.

Adorable subject. I wish you'd taken this from a bit lower and right in front of him to make this image 'sing' for us! (not voting yet)
