Taking a Dip

I think these guys are called Gentoo Penguins, although someone more experienced might correct me! Not sure if the water was too cold or they were just too high up!

As always, comments are welcome, particularly those offering feedback and criticism on my images! (It's the only way I'll learn!) :)

@Jon: Think they were just admiring the view!

He does look like he's thinking weather to get in the water or not.
Nice shot Dave.

They look like they are in deep conversation as to whether they should dive in or not. Very cute.
