Yes Geoff thanks for the CC, you are so right, this is something I have become aware of since when photographing wildlife and getting that all important catchlight in the eye makes such a difference between a "nice photo" and a great wildlife photo
Thanks Sam, I see you have your new camera, so I am looking forward to seeing your photos with your new toy!!! Happy snapping
NICE SHOT, AGREE WITH GEOFF ABOUT CATCHLIGHT FOR THE EYE BUT SOMTIMES WE GET THAT EXCITED ABOUT WHAT WE SEE THROUGH LENS THAT EVERYTHING GOES OUT THE WINDOW. I KNOW BECAUSE I,M GUILTY. REGARDS & KEEP THEM COMING .

Thanks, I am terrible for getting too excited when I get a good photo opportunity and all discipline is forgotten.
wonderful pose, a bird we don't often see here! and yes, I'm sure you will have more of those to spoil us!
To be honest I don`t know how to. I do very little post processing, sometimes I will crop an image to get a better composition, or adjust the light and colours. My limit of my talent is removing dust marks. Thanks for your comments though much appreciated I might go have a play, it would improve the image quite a lot.
Well taken, these lovely creatures are always cute to look at.
One of my favourite places on this planet Janet. A very difficult bird to expose for and you have done very well as the blacks on Kings are black. I select the eye and then inverse and reduce the rest slightly to just differ it from the feathers enough, but I can clearly see it on the lead female here

Thanks Richard for taking the time to look at my photos. It was dream for me to visit Volunteer Point and spend time watching the King Penguins. I have to agree with you it is one of my faviroute places on the planet.
I was very new to digital photography when I took these and didn`t realise that the camera would struggle to pick out their eye against their dark colour. I will try what you suggest.
