No problem tv. I appreciate your comments as I just turned 50.

Just to be clear Tom, my comment was a tribute to your sense of humor and creativity, like that of a young child not stilted by narrow minded old age. Being of that older set m'self, I particularly enjoy this in others even as my own is failing. -tv

Cool shot ;) Lovely shades of blue and a creative double take on the topic and title/motif. I also like the composition and limited palette. Priceless expression too - both drowsy and blissful there in his chilly penguin nest :) I might have cloned a little, the "blackness" on the round corner upper right and perhaps the black squares above his head. The shadow upper left corner is a "problem" area as I see it, but I realise a crop would remove the very nice "natural" rounded half border along half the top and right side, which is a keeper. Hmm.

All I could think of is: what is that thing doing in there? You must have the mind of 7 yr old, or an absurdist sense of humor. :-) Very funny "negative" temp space. -tv
