For a night image this is very nicely done. The only branch that bugs me is the small one on the right. That could go with a bit of work if you so choose.
SH, EXP, pose and head angle are all loverly.
May we assume that you eliminated the red-eye?
You comments on the flash do not make sense: "Full flash 580 EX & Flash setting +1.0.
If you were truly at full flash (Manual flash mode at 1:1) then you could not have had the flash at +1. (You need to be in ETTL to do that.)
