Thanks, Debbie. The water and the algae did provide a very colorful background for this little fella.

A great and unusual wildlife image with excellent color, exposure and dof. Also the penguin was caught in a great pose.

Thank you! I didn’t realize how rare it is – I guess I was lucky to see quite a few when I was in New Zealand.
