Roadrunner art 3

Thanks for commenting on the first version of this image. This is the same image, base techniques(fract/texture) as my last post, but a much more natural looking image and one that is closer to what I had in mind before being sidetracked with the electric version :). While working on this version, I learned about non-destructive burn/dodge etc, which I had heard of but never figured out before. So much to learn...

What do you think of the crop compared to the first image? Looser, tighter better? Something in the middle? Any suggestions for improving this version are appreciated. Thank you.
