Lovely pose, i would think about clonging the leaf out infront of the ear, as well as the OOF twig.
Still a shot i would love in my album.

Awesome sighting here Chris. Comp works nicely. Looks a tad oversaturated (esp the tongue) Did you lighten it up afterwards? Would maybe add some contrast here too. Well done and thanks for sharing

Thanks Wayne and Matt.
Wayne I hear you about the cloning and will tackle the twig - the leaf is not so easy, can't replace an ear that is not there 
Matt the image was very washed out so I created a HDR by blending multiple exports from lightroom in photomatix. The end result is oversaturated and lacking in contrast, so I have now upped the contrast and dropped the saturation a bit. Any better?
