Hi Greg, I like the outstretched arms and the foot up. Nice details on the body and i like the head on view. Would wish for the BG to be more smoothed and the dark area on the left draws my eye. Fun!

Cute pose and cute bird in general.
Nice low angle..
You could probably lighten and smooth the BG if you were inclined.

Neat looking pengiun. This works with the bird dead center. Details on the whites are nice.

I like this view and all of the gray tones through the frame. Curious what a vertical 8x10 crop would do to minimize the presence of the biggest darkest blob behind and left. Details on the bird are wonderful, as is the rocky beach.
