    Hi Jon, I like this, but overall it looks quite light, (too much flash perhaps in parts?) and the top part of the BKG isn't very appealing. I would add some Luminosity masks too pull back the detail you originally captured and blend/crop more off the top. The rear leg looks odd with a green/yellow halo around it????

    Just my take Jon...
