Did you try to remove the pink thistle from around the head?
Overall if you up the Exposure and get some of that lovely richness back in the colour this will be a cool image.
WDYT?

Thanks Steve, glad I got a reply, I did several versions of this image and wasn't entirely happy. I will bare in mind your observations. Yes I did some thistle removal, less than ideal.
