First Impression:
A good poster style shot.
Focus/DoF:
Seems spot on. I would have gone for a smaller aperture, but only to get a little more detail in the fur.
Colour:
Feels to me as though the brown feet and nose could do with a little more punch, but it is quite realistic the way it is, and I am assuming that was what you were going for.
The belly is a little burnt out, and the black wings are not visible. As you have shot the penguin against a black background, I am assuming you wanted this to happen. However, if you were going for a high key shot, I don't think you've wuite managed it. The detail in the face and the hair are preventing that.
Composition:
It's a bit plain. As you have gone for a centre frame setup, then it should be just that - but as it is there is more space to the right and above the penguin.
Overall, I do like it, but it doesn't really hold my attention for long.
