Congratulations, hopefully this will give you a further boost for that image, and also more traffic to your portfolio. How about a link to your image?  :)

I noticed this a while ago.  I'm sorry I didn't mention it--I thought you knew.

Congrats.

Thanx guys, @professorgb np, it was a nice surprise for me, I haven't checked the most popular images for a while.
The age of it at SS is about 6,5 month.

I think that it is a truly remarkable photo.  Timeless too.  This is one of those photos that your grandchildren will get royalties from long after you are gone.  Everytime I see a photo of a penguin now, I think freezingpictures!

A belated congratulations ... I thought you knew!

This shot has been on the top 50 list for quite a while - it's 33rd in the "Photos Only" category. I hope it's always there!

CONGRATS! It's always a good feeling to have your photo there.

My winter tree went as high as 17th and now it's one it's way out, barely holding on to 50th.  ;)

Chapeau! as they say in these parts.

A classic picture, and the lighting is beautiful. It will sell and sell, that's for sure.

(Edited to say ... Oops! I didn't notice the shadows. Just goes to show ... dunnit. Even so, it's still a great shot)

I didn 't notice the4 first time.  The shadows are wrong.  ;)

Congrats to you FreezingP.

No doubt the shadows are deliberate.  Symmetrical.

Congratulations, Freezingpictures!  I guess the shadows are some South Pole effect, aren't they?  :)

Regards,
Adelaide

Yeah that with the shadows at the South Pole is really weird...  ::)
