From the Critique Club

This is a nice shot for the challenge. I don't recall seeing any others close to this subject which gets a bonus from me for originality!

This shot is framed and composed nicely! I like the angular lines infered by the boy and the penguin looking at each other! From a compositional POV there is an object (another penguin?) in the background on the right that is a little distracting. I don't know with all the patterns in the water if you could clone this out or not... There is a bit of noise here, but I don't think it really detracts from the shot. I'm not sure that I like the choice of B/W for this though. I am a color freak and in this shot I think that the colors and tones from the light coming through the water would add to the feeling of the shot!

Nice shot overall.

Outstanding shot, this is too cute! I like the little boy viewing this in amazement, not sure about the black and white choice on this one , as I am sure the water was probably an outstanding blue which would have been nice to see, but over all this is a fantastic shot, the clarity is good and the water shows up really well, 9

This has great emotive!! It would be a wall hanger for sure for the parent of this little one. A part of me wishes it were in color, but I also like the simplicity of b&w - I really focus on the boy and penguin. Unfortuantely this image seems to be suffering a little from focus issues - but otherwise great composition and lighting.

The inter-species curiosity captured here makes this a very worthwhile shot. The composition is quite satisfying. Lighting could, perhaps, be improved on. Most of all, however, I'd wish for a much crisper focus on Mr. T junior.

Despite this, one of the more stirring images in this challenge, which effects my vote for it.

Very nicely captured. Composition helps to tell a story and you want to know about. Looks good in b&w.
