African Penguin "Buddha"
A baby African black-footed penguin born Oct. 20, 2007 in the wildlife display at the Hyatt Regency Maui Resort and Spa in Ka'anapali, Maui. His name is "Buddha". The background is a pond and this is my 1st attempt at a bokeh.
Lense: Nikkor 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G VR
(Photo taken in Dec 2007)
