Amy,
You captured a great natural portrait of the raccoon. I like the shallow DOF of the background and the nice clarity of the animal itself. IMHO I would have cloned out or darkened the hotspot in the right corner of the nose, since it's just a bit distracting. I also would have cropped just a bit of the bottom of the tree, which would not have affected your placement of the raccoon in the image.
Nice portrait!
Dave

Thank you very much, Robert, Cyn, Dave, Rakesh, Ken, and Christina!! :) I really appreciate your suggestions Dave, I will try that. His nose looked like it was a little wet. I was not sure whether I should leave that spot.
