    You have some wonderful images Robert, this one is special. For one who says he is not an artist you are selling yourself short. From what I can see you have a great understanding of composition with the landscapes and your fauna shots are outstanding. Bet you get to do plenty of walks in the National Park.

    Wonderful moment in time. Oakum boys are charming. I broke my ankle three weeks before sailing for South Georgia so was limited in the amount of walking I could do—-no Shackleton death march for me. Instead, I sat at Gold Harbor for hours with oakum boys keeping me company. Surely South Georgia is one of the most magical places on earth. Thank you for bringing back cherished memories.

    Some kids just keep expecting a free ride. What a great capture. I didn’t know the “little” ones had such brown feathers. And what a gleaming King Penguin. Surely you weren’t so close as to use a speedlight – must be reflected light that makes the coat shine. Beautiful shot.
