I don’t believe there were any gentoo penguins among the characters in the Happy Feet movie (they were all emperors, adelies and rockhoppers) but this gentoo was doing his best interpretation of the dance, splashing around in the marshlands of Saunders Island in the Falklands. Nikon D810 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 200mm) ISO 800, f/5.6 at 1/2000th of a second.
He’ll have a hard time remaining happy if he wants to pursue dance professionally. It’s a highly competitive field, full of long hours, low paychecks and sometimes orcas, which would be particularly problematic.

You can actually see the motion of dancing in this photo. Great shot, Sean!
