ABSTRACT
The image of the king penguins that opens this epilog is the author's favorite photograph from South Georgia Island. the image tells an environmental story, as opposed to a close-up shot that tells more of a story about the animals; the entire image is properly exposed; the penguins' heads are framed in; the sky and are separated from the background; the three penguins are placed off center for creative composition; the three penguins also illustrate one of the rules of composition: The Rule of odds; and the scene shows the land and sky all in focus. The three penguins are positioned off center for pleasing composition, but their heads are lost in the background. When photographing several animals, look for one animal that is doing something different from the other animals. This picture is the result of following Art's advice.
