Great contest!

First of all, thanks for entering my contest. This photo you have taken here is very interesting. I really like how you have captured these penguins in a way that it shows you their emotions and sort of what they are thinking. I like how they are looking around at stuff and each one is looking in a different direction. And the shadows from the penguins look very cool as well. So wonderful job on this photo, I love the way you have captured these penguins!

First of all, thanks for entering my contest.

This photo you have taken here is absolutely fabulous!!!

I love how hard the snow is blowing, it makes the whole photo look stunning and adds wonder all over to the image.

I also love the looks on both of the penguin's faces. The baby looks like it does not really care about the snow, and the mom looks like she does not care either, but is very worried about her baby as if it is okay and warm enough. Penguins have so much feathers that I think they do not mind the cold very much so that is why they look so relaxed.

I also love the effect you have given to this photo, you have made it High Key, but also have added a Dreamy Effect to it as well, I really love is especially how the sky looks baby blue.

So fabulous job on this photo and taking a picture good enough to be my First Place Winner!!!

First of all, thanks for entering my contest. This photo you have taken here is very cool! I love how the sky blends in with the snow. I also love how the penguin looks EXACTLY like he is saying "That way..."! I can not believe it!!! I also like how the penguin is on a hill because it makes this photo look even more interesting. So amazing job on this photo, capturing the perfect moment, and taking a photo good enough for Fourth Place!

First of all, thanks for entering my contest. This photo you have taken here is very cool! I like the whole image and especially... The scenery. All of the gorgeous blue mountains are wonderful and the penguins are not completely the main subject, but it is enough. I love how all of the rocks look also. So amazing job on this photo. I really love how so much different things are in this photo put together!

First of all, thanks for entering my contest. This photo you have taken here is very unique! I love how this penguin looks so relaxed and since he is floating on his back, he looks a lot like an otter! I really like the little waves all over and how the penguin is reflected, but not a super lot. So awesome job on this photo, you have captured the unique moment of this penguin very well!

First of all, thanks for entering my contest. This photo you have taken here is totally awesome! Everything about it is great. I like how nice the blue sky looks, it is a dim, light blue color and makes everything stand out nicely. I also like how evenly the colorful necks on the penguins are! They are so close together, that it makes a cool line with the colors. And what else is cool, is that the penguins have their wings out and yes, it could be looked at as the penguins are saying "Get out of my way", but to me, I look at it as them stretching out their wings and it is like they are saying "This is our territory" or something like that. It is hard to interpret exactly what they look like they are saying, but it is just really cool how they look. So awesome job with this photo and taking a photo good enough for Second Place!

First of all, thanks for entering my contest. This photo you have taken here is very cool! I love how all of the penguins have a strange expression on them Each one looks so much different than the other one! The reflection looks great and I also really like the big waves in back! They look really great and it makes this photo even better! And another thing, I can tell you were hiding by how there is something on the bottom-right corner! So amazing job on this photo!

First of all, thanks for entering my contest. This photo you have taken here is very cool and interesting. I really like how this photo shows the happy emotions of a mother penguin and her chick. The mom looks worried about the chick, and the baby looks thankful and very happy for his mom! I really love that about his photo! There is not a super lot to this image so that is about it. So amazing job on this photo and capturing the right moment when the mom and chick looked like this!!!

First of all, thanks for entering my contest. This photo you have taken here is very cool and unique! I love how since there are only three penguins, it shows how their expressions are. The one diving looks like he is careless. The one ready to go in looks like he is being very careful and worried a bit about what might happen when he goes in. And the one on the far left looks like he is just happy and waiting for his turn! I like how bright white the snow is and how the water is so choppy and wavy! So awesome job on this image!!!

First of all, thanks for entering my contest. This photo you have taken here is cool, interesting, and peaceful. I really like how the reflection of the sky is such a nice blue color, it makes this photo look so much better and makes it simple, but great, it also makes the reflection look super cool with how the penguin looks all weird looking. And the last thing I wanted to point out, is how the penguin is walking away from the camera. It makes this photo look so cool, And since this photo is different from the others that is why I am making you Tenth Place!!! Amazing Job!

First of all, thanks for entering my contest. This photo you have taken here is awesome! I love how excited the penguins look and how each and every one of them is completely different from the others! And the water droplets everywhere makes this photo even more exciting! And the last thing I wanted to point out is how the penguins look really good with all of those colors! It brightens up this image and makes it even more interesting! So awesome job on this photo and taking a photo good enough for Eighth Place!

First of all, thanks for entering my contest. This photo you have taken here is so cool! I really love all of the little cute penguin chicks. I think it is cool that there are more penguin chicks than adults. I also really like the brightness of this photo. It is nice because it is not too bright but it really brings out the color of the snow. So awesome job on this photo and how you have taken it!

First of all, thanks for entering my contest. This photo you have taken here is very funny and cool at the same time! I like how all of the penguins are swimming. I also like the waves. Another thing that is cool is how this image has literally no color except grey and white in it, the penguins are the only thing that has color. Without them, this photo would be black and white! But the thing I like the most, is how the main subject of the image (the penguin walking out of the water) is walking with a proud look on its face! He looks so funny because he looks like he is saying "I did it!" and is all proud of himself. It is hard to explain but just the look on his face is so funny to me and makes me laugh every time I see it! So awesome job on this photo! I really like it!

First of all, thanks for entering my contest. This photo you have taken here is very cool! I love how nice and white the sun is. It looks almost "Light" for being the sun. Also, I absolutely love the silhouettes. They make this photo so cool and wonderful, especially the penguins that are calling add so much more interest to this photo! But the main thing that is awesome about this photo, is the amazing golden color of the sky!!! It is so dark and striking that it makes this photo totally incredible! I absolutely love it. So fabulous job on this photo!

First of all, thanks for entering my contest. This photo you have taken here is very great! I love how the penguins are sleeping. This made this photo really stand out compared to the others. I also like the little pink stripe by the penguin's eyes, this looks really cool and somehow adds more interest to the image! So great job on this photo and taking a photo good enough for Ninth Place!

First of all, thanks for entering my contest. This photo you have taken here is totally amazing! I love how the penguins are looking around in wonder of the area. I like how the mountains have just a little bit of snow including the ground as well. But the thing I like the most about this image is the church! It feels so holy and looks like such a nice little place. Also, it is up in the mountains so it is away from everything which makes it even more peaceful. And how there is Three penguins is really cool because three represents the Holy Trinity like you have titled the picture. So fabulous job on this photo and taking a picture good enough for Third Place!!!

First of all, thanks for entering my contest. This photo you have taken here is very interesting. I love how all of the penguins are the same and this Penguin Chick is "Standing out from the Crowd"! It really is and looks like it is confused, but a bit angry at the same time because it looks almost like it is mad that it does not look the same as the others! I also love how the Penguin Chick has such a fluffy coat on it! It makes it look cute! So great job on this photo! I really like it.

First of all, thanks for entering my contest. This photo you have taken here is very cool. I like how many different things are in this photo including the sky, the penguins, and the ice. I love how with the sky, you can see some orange and yellow colors on the far left side of the photo. The penguins are very cool and look like they are wondering what to do next! They look very confused and interested. And the big chunk of ice looks so interesting with all of the icicles, the blue, the holes, and the snow on top. Everything about this photo is super awesome and that is why I am giving you Fifth Place!

First of all, thanks for entering my contest. This photo you have taken here is very cool! I love how this penguin is yelling. It looks so great this way. All of the stripes and patterns on this penguin look so great. And another thing I really like is the background! I like how in just one little spot towards the bottom, it is in focus enough to where you can tell that there is grass and plants there. So fabulous job on this photo and taking a picture good enough for Sixth Place!

First of all, thanks for entering my contest.

This photo you have taken here is very good!

I love how the penguin is with the sheep!

You got very lucky to get sheep AND a penguin together. This is very cool and made this photo really REALLY stand out compared to all of the other penguin photos for this contest!

I also really like how you have taken this photo from ground level view because this makes the photo look even better!

And the last thing that I should add is that the background is nice with how the Depth of Field is Shallow, but not so shallow as to where it is blurred into almost nothing, you can make out that there are more hills and you can even tell that there is a road or something down below with the faint orange lines, I really love how you made this image look like this (or maybe you just got lucky with the Depth of Field) because it makes you look at the image even more than you would by trying to figure out what is in the background.

So terrific job on this photo, I absolutely love it!

First of all, thanks for entering my contest. This photo you have taken here is very cool! I love how the penguin chick is hungry and wants to eat, it is like the baby is so hungry, that it is too impatient and the mother is like "Hold on guy!" like it is shocked at how hungry it is! This is what I like the most about this photo! Also, the nice white background in High Key makes this photo look great especially how the adult penguin's coat blends in perfectly with the white background! So amazing job on this photo and capturing the funny expression of these two penguins!

First of all, thanks for entering my contest. This photo you have taken here is very cool! I like how you can tell that this penguin is determined, cute, and being careful at the same time! I can tell that it is very hard for these penguins to walk down these mountains! I also really like the nice blue background, it is not striking blue and does not need to be, just a plain, simple blue with white from the snow. And it is also cool how the penguin has white everywhere, but in just a very few spots, it has black when looking at it from this angle which makes this photo have three colors. Blue Black and White. So great job on this photo, I really like it!
