Well done to get so close to a raptor. Raptor looks great and perfect head turn.
This is one situation when it would have been a bit better to be a bit higher. I find the grasses a bit overwhelming.
I find myself wanting you to include more of the virtual feet but that would increase the amount of FG grasses. A higher POV might have helped.
Another option would be to go vertical.
