Very nice details, eye contact and BG. Even though there are quite a few branches, this works well for me. The only one I would clone out are the two sticking out of the head. I'm interested what others think about it.

I was wondering what other people would say about the branches (I didn't see Axel's comment until after I formulated my own opinion). I'm with Axel on this one; the branches just work for me here (except for the one Axel pointed out). I might also boost the blacks a little. Thanks for sharing!
