TITLE: An intimate conversation

We are used to seeing penguins as comical, clumsy and endearing, but there is also an elegance to them. Notice their heads speckled with tiny white feathers. The social interactions - how the couple in the back are showing affection, while the couple in front clearly focused on one another and yet you can see the eye of the penguin on the left looking back at the photographer, as if acknowledging the intrusion into this intimate conversation.
