With something like this Nick I might suggest planning it with a less distracting BKG, or perhaps standing on something unusual to create interest, although it is shot in it's habitat.
A smoother BG would have been nice, but this is a very natural looking image, Nick. I'm always amazed by the clarity and sharpness that the pesky D7000 can capture, that eye is crystal clear.

Many thanks for your comments folks, they are greatly appreciated as always.
@ Andy...... I think the 300mm f4 lens has more to do with it as it really is eye wateringly sharp when used bare. I've heard it gives the f2.8 a good run for its money!

A cracking sharp image in its environment.
