Nice soft tones & muted colours. It appears to be sharper on the body rather than on the face, is this perhaps because of the angle of its head which is further forward - I think it loses some impact for this. I would also try a crop that moves the head further off centre.

Hmmm, must admit it looks fine to me but maybe I need stronger reading glasses
Slightly more sharpening round the head ... any better? although it looks over sharpened to me now.

That looks better around the eye area and side of the face to me
