So difficult to make a decision - but I have a soft spot for penguins, which I saw in the wild in New Zealand. I love the flippers/arms spread out for balance - almost human. You have my vote because you made me smile.

That gets my vote!

Spectacular image. As good as it gets. Isobel's nature photography consistently surpasses one's highest expectations. I have traveled with her on photo expeditions and watched her at work. While nothing comes easily (other than luck), Isobel works for what she gets--and what she gets says everything about the quality of her work. This is a winner! Bravo!

nice nice!!!!

Beautiful, amazing photo!

really captures the pristine, isolated atmosphere
