animal is central...as per scientific shot...but for composition can be improved
i dont know if the colouring is exact as it needs to be for nature shots but it looks as if some contrast could be added

i dont know if this is acceptable scientifically...my interest was in getting closer...decentralising the subject and removing distracting shape and colours...ie the leaf spine
