The sun rises in the Falklands as the activity at a rockhopper penguin colony kicks into high gear. Another day of hopping up and down rocks, swimming, fishing, building nests, eating, mating, squabbling with neighbors and doing all sorts of other penguin-y things. Nikon D800 with Nikkor 17-35mm lens (at 17mm) ISO 200, f/18 at 1/30th of a second
