Of course a penguin belongs in the avian...it's a species of bird after all. It's a lot of fun to see something different posted. Love the action you captured and the rock(s) work well. For my taste, your penguin is a little too centered. I think I would try cropping it from the right to the first big cut in the rock then probably a little off the bottom. Your penguin's face is looking quite dark to me. I would try to lighten it up.
Looking forward to more.

It's a very different kind of shot which makes it interesting. I am agreeing about the dark face, for me the entire bird could be lightened. I think it this were mine I would take off from the right up to the white mark on the rock or so.

This made me smile. A great image. Would brighten the bird a bit.

I like the original composition, I like the small size of the bird amongst the large rocks it helps convey just how athletic the little guy is.
I would suggest you select the bird only and brighten that only, (I get the impression in the repost that most things have been brightened up). The bird would be far more striking.

Hi Anette:
I like what you have done with the exposure on the penguin. I think the exposure of the rock on the original post (OP) was probably more accurate and I feel it has more character, colors & textures. So I would leave the rock alone. I really like the crop from the right. Another option which I just tried was leaving the bottom as is and cropping some from the blue sky instead of the rock. It's really a personal preference. I can't even decide. Maybe some off of both. So many choices. :)

Thank you very much Jonathan and Marina. After comparing a few times I agree with you Marina, rock color wise. Well cropping off here or there. I just will do some crops and have a day later on a look again, that might do the job :))
Thanks so much for your input, I highly appreciate it.
Ciao
