Ditto Justin's comments - I also like the tight crop but feel a bit more room in front of it's nose and a little more room above would have imaproved the shot!

Great composition, and an overall unusual photo. The use of flash is a bit too obvious, but its still a fine shot.

I like this shot but instead of giving extra space I would have gone even tighter and cropped about three scales in front of its eye cutting off the nose entirely.
