Advanced Photoshop Pictures Contest - 22 image entries
Penguins
Contest Directions:  Today's contest is in memory of posy who passed away one year ago. Posy was JannaR's mother and responsible for bringing JannaR to Freaking News.
In this contest you are asked to photoshop Penguins. Dress up penguins (full outfit or just simple accessories) and put them in places you wouldn't normally see them. Real penguins, not cartoons or stuffed imposters, must be used. Chop them any way you'd like. Dress them up, take them to the movies, add them to famous images, or add them to historical sites.
JannaR is sponsoring this contest in the memory of her mother, posy.

This contest is fueled by the following news:
Penguins are a group of aquatic, flightless birds living almost exclusively in the Southern Hemisphere. The number of penguin species has been and still is a matter of debate. Depending on which authority is followed, biodiversity varies between 16 and 19 living species, all in the subfamily Spheniscinae. Some sources consider the White-flippered Penguin a separate Eudyptula species, while others treat it as a subspecies of the Little Penguin; the actual situation seems to be more complicated. Similarly, it is still unclear whether the Royal Penguin is merely a color morph of the Macaroni penguin. Also possibly eligible to be treated as a separate species is the Northern population of Rockhopper penguins. Although all penguins are native to the southern hemisphere, they are not, contrary to popular belief, found only in cold climates, such as Antarctica. In fact, only a few species of penguin actually live so far south. Three species live in the temperate zone; one lives as far north as the Galápagos Islands (the Galápagos Penguin). The largest living species is the Emperor Penguin: adults average about 1.1 m (3 ft 7 in) tall and weigh 35 kg (75 lb) or more. The smallest penguin species is the Little Blue Penguin (also known as the Fairy Penguin or the Blue Penguin), which stands around 40 cm tall (16 in) and weighs 1 kg (2.2 lb). Generally larger penguins retain heat better, and thus inhabit colder regions, while smaller penguins are found in temperate or even tropical climates (see also Bergmann's Rule). Some prehistoric species attained enormous sizes, becoming as high or as heavy as an adult human; see below for more. Most penguins feed on krill, fish, squid, and other forms of sealife caught while swimming underwater. They spend half of their life on land and half in the oceans. Penguins seem to have no fear of humans and have approached groups of explorers without hesitation. This is probably on account of there being no land predators in Antarctica or the nearby offshore islands that prey on or attack penguins. Instead, penguins are at risk at sea from predators such as the leopard seal.
