I think this rockhopper penguin wanted to eat my lens. I had been photographing these very curious penguins at close range when two of them came even closer and started pecking at the front element of my fisheye lens, perhaps seeing their own reflection in the glass. I posted a similar photo a few years back, but this one really got in there for an up close and personal perspective. Nikon D800 with Sigma 15mm fisheye lens, ISO 1600, f/5.6 at 1/2000th of a second.
