Magellanic Penguin

Are you f'ing kidding me?!?!? I was 14.75 feet from this amazing and adorable animal! How do I know the exact distance? Well, the bird shuffled one additional step towards me after I captured this frame and my lens lost focus since it only focuses outside 14.75 feet. Seeing this bird so well was better than every line of cocaine and hit of ecstasy I ever did. Well, not really. But you get the idea.
