22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Magellanic Penguins

The Los Pingüinos Natural Monument is an island in Chile which is famous for their Magellanic Penguins colony. I was extremely lucky to witness this cute penguins. Many of them weren't afraid of the humans so they can come sometimes really close to them. I took this close up with a 300mm zoom lens.
