King Penguin - Falkland Islands/Islas Malvinas
D300, 200-400mm @ 400mm, ISO 200, f/8, 1/320s
A complete reprocess of my award winning King Penguin shot "A Stroll on the Beach" which conjures up images of an old couple that's been together forever just strolling down the beach enjoying each other's company and the conversation.

I am once again completely blown away by how much more detail, sharpness and just general image quality I can extract out of old files with modern tools like Capture One Pro 12, Topaz Studio and others.

Their heads are slightly turned toward each other (and the right one leaning), as if listening to each other. There are images that tell a story and ones that can conjure up a story. This is a great example of the later.

Delightful! I can relate to those old "folks" strolling on the beach. :)

This is wonderful EJ.
Love the comp as is, but I did a browser scroll and removed the green at the top and liked that as well. I find the green at the top pulls the eye away from the fabulous subjects and that lovely water color.
The exposure is perfect and the whites look great with lots of detail.
Very very nice and would love this one in my files,

Gorgeous!  Two friends having a casual chat on the beach all dressed up in black tie!  Wonderful capture!
