Welcome back - I've missed you. Beautiful shot, but I believe that is a gentoo- The adelies do not have that white patch over the eye. we'll finally get to see adelies in the wild on our next wedding anniversary. So far we've seen (and photographed) gentoos, kings, magelanics, galapagos, blues & rockhoppers.

Thank you Stuart you're right it is a Gentoo, I saw so many Penguins I'm confused.....I still close my eyes and all I see and smell are penguins!

I've corrected/edited my post above from Adelie to Gentoo.

A wonderful shot of the penguin on watch over his domain. Great composition, colors and atmosphere.

Is really an exquisite catch... perfect framing to suggest the deep relation between the animal and its environment.
