Original - Little Penguin (Eudyptula minor) family exiting burrow, Bruny Island, Tasmania, Australia
Reason
Another high EV image. Certainly something that it isn't possible to replicate in a zoo. The image was taken at night with three off-camera flashes. Flash isn't allowed at the observation platform. I had to wait until 11pm one night before everyone left so I could set up to start shooting. Because of the larger audience and educational the use of flash here is ethically justifiable. The penguins are used to torch light anyway and didn't react significantly to the flash either. I also limited the number of exposures to reduce my impact.

Also some strange texture above the left penguin at the very top of the picture. But just to repeat, love the photo! Aaadddaaammm (talk) 18:21, 9 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
