Oh, this is such a great shot! Caught my eye right away - the detail is exquisite. I didn't get to vote in the Zoo challenge - now I wish I had!

Good penguin shot, especially difficult to do in the direct sun..but well done and well cropped.

Wonderful sharpness. Just don't like the shadow of the eyelid on the eye, though of course you couldn't have done much about it :)

Nice DOF, texture, the background by the beak is a bit distracting. Very exotic animal if not one typical seen as a zoo animal. - 6

lovely close-up, would have liked to see a touch more DOF to bring the whole penguin into focus though.

Since I am lacking in technical skills, I cannot give helpful comments. I am strictly a photo buff who is trying to improve, but as to telling you what is wrong or right, I am in no position to say. I am simply voting based on whether I like the picture or not. Sorry, maybe someday I will be able to give helpful advice

Really great shot! Beautiful DOF and natural colors. The only thing I thought was a teensy bit distracting was the white/hot spots on the bird's breast. Very minor detail though - 9
