A gentoo penguin looms in the background as a dolphin gull walks along the shoreline. Photographed on Saunders Island in the Falklands. Nikon D800 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 350mm) ISO 800, f/5.6 at 1/1250th of a second.
There’s just something about this photo that compels me to stare at it. It’s almost other-worldly. My eyes should be satisfied to stay with the dolphin gull, but they are drawn to the gentoo penguin standing like a giant in a Gort-like way in the background. Love the splash of colors throughout! This image offers the viewer with a healthy portion of whimsical eye candy, Sean!
Love, love, LOVE it!! This photo has such drama! The viewer can add their own story line for “The Penguin and the Gull”, a book, or play, or, as Louis suggests, the next summer blockbuster.

Thanks Sue. It’s always fun to be able to line up multiple species in the same composition.
I’m looking at Hollywood’s next classic buddy movie.
