Well I certainly enjoyed these Mitesh.

#1 is a winner, outstanding comp, really a great perspective, good on you to 'make' this shot, great vision!
#4 I like your take on this one, wide works great here

Nice mix on the young, the old, the new to hatch, the beginning of life and the end of life, you got it all, well presented.

Mitesh, your images are simply jaw-dropping; you certainly made the best out of this trip! I would think twice about replacing the gear you used to capture those images with something else of a smaller format. Just IMHO only, of course.

These are creative and wonderfully evocative, Mitesh; I agree completely with Eric and Geoff, and I would love to hear more about logistics, details, and opportunities!

1,4,9, and 11 are my favorites because of the creative vision; in fact, #4 reminds me a bit of this award-winning Rockhopper image.

If you post a more detailed trip report, please share!

Greg
P.S. #3 looks just a tiny bit front-focused.

Late to this party, but fortunately these are timeless in their beauty! You are well-deserving of the FTW; the imagery is top-notch. Love the variety you've presented here in all their gorgeous light, natural history glory!

Beautiful set; so glad I got to see it!

Thanks for posting.

Amazing Mitesh....I really should have cancelled all my patients and got on the plane with you. I don't know what you were complaining about at the beginning of the earlier thread because I think you did an amazing job capturing some dramatic and special images that aren't all just a bunch of portraits like I probably would have done

Next time I'll make the trip just to be inspired.....

TFS
Geoff

PS...got my vote...I feel we will have a back to back TOTW winner very soon

And just like that my oracle like prediction has come true.

Congrats Mitesh...well deserved....just imagine what you could have achieved if you'd ditched that heavy Canon junk and used the Oly instead

A great destination for sure with lovely photographic results. Congrats.
And besides the places you visited, there are several more islands with equally spectacular photo ops.

Thanks, Geoff. You should definitely have cancelled your appointments and joined! Knowing you and seeing your work over the past number of years, I am fairly confident that you would have found and unleashed the full fury of your inner creative forces

! Appreciate your support and get your tent/sleeping bag ready for next time!

Mitesh, these are spectacular, far better than I got when we were there. We travelled on Ponant's ship combining the Falklands, South Georgia and Antarctica, how did you go there? Congratulations on magnificent images!

Thanks, Bob. I flew into Stanley and then camped at Saunders and Volunteer. I did see a few cruise ships during the two weeks, but they only disembarked for a few hours at each location. I would imagine that is not nearly enough time to satisfy any serious photographer!

Oh my goodness Mitesh , another stunning set

This set has certainly stirred my emotions.

I absolutely love the first . The composition with the sliver of foreground showing the penguin and the sky filling the image is outstanding . It conveys such a feeling of vastness of the environment and the heavens .

Your low angle wide angle close up on 4 is amazing. One really gets the feel of watchful guardians

All So very well done.

Birdie

Thanks for your thoughtful comments, Birdie! The photos just don't do justice to being there and witnessing it with not just your eyes, but all of your senses!

Thanks for your confidence, Geoff! The Canon "junk" isn't going anywhere, but remind me to tell you about how one of my 1DX and I did our best Jack and Jill impression and almost both went tumbling down a steep slope on Saunders and into the crashing waves below!
