I would hate to spend time on a cruise, but your images might make me change my mind :-) One question : how do the penguins land onto the icebergs? I see ice walls everywhere. Do they use the waves (thinking of Splash) and take risks? And one suggestion : the last one in BW with the sun into the lens, http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/jayanand/SGF/Landscape/South+Georgia-20191023-8940BW.jpg.html After seeing it large, I?d chop of the top and bottom by let?s say 5%. Well, that my own idea of balance and you may not agree :-) Amities Philippe > Le 29 d?c. 2019 ? 06:00, Jayanand Govindaraj via LUG <lug at > leica-users.org> a ?crit : > > The last installment from my South Georgia trip is a large one, so please > bear with me one final time.
