Would have preferred it if there wasn't a blue bit in the corner, and the depth of field was greater, as to focus it's nose a bit more, but I couldn't get it to stay calm again to take another photo ;).

a good try, but i think that having the nose dead-centred in the shot reduces the impact of having the eyes on the thirds line. maybe cropping to place the critter's left eye on the leftmost vertical thirds line would have helped...
Doesn't look like a monster to me. It appears oversharpened on my monitor & slightly soft. While the eyes are on thirds, his nose is what grabs my attention.
