"Friends, Romans, Countrymen..." (Aptenodytes patagonicus)

This shot was taken on the beach at Gold Harbour in South Georgia, one of the island's largest King Penguin colonies with about 25,000 pairs. I love the way this one seemed to be standing on his lump of tussock grass, surveying his minions like an old style Roman emperor.
