Not bad for ISO 800, although you could run extra noise reduction in the BG.
Very nice and sharp, the OOF rock in the foreground really takes away from the pretty habitat.
Keep them coming.

I like the walking pose, eye contact and soft light. I would selectively sharpen the head more and agree that the big rock in the foreground is a bit distracting. Maybe you could crop a bit off the bottom to lessen the impact.

Nice image. Love the low angle and to see some environment.
