My Chinstrap Penguin Triptych received an Acceptance award in the Nelson National Triptych Salon. This salon (photography competition) is run annually by the Nelson Camera Club. The Chinstraps were my favourite penguin species of the four penguin species I saw in Antarctica. Chinstrap Penguins, Pygoscelis antarcticus, are called Chinstraps because they have a narrow black stripe under their chin. It makes them look like they're smiling. Two of the three images from the triptych are available to purchase as prints or canvases in my print store: Chinstrap Penguin Profile Chinstrap Penguin To View More >>
