I like it- but it's not as punchy as your usual stuff. I think it could be the backgroudn distracts me a little... but then... having said that, the more I look at it, the more I like it! 
Well done.

Thanks all.
Zounds, I desaturated the green channel and also reduced the luminosity on the greens to try and make the blues stand out more. Personally I'm with you and think I prefer a bit more vibrant background.

Oh good - glad I've not been too harsh in my critique - I do really like it - and think the leaves add something to it... I just think maybe they add a bit too much.

I think you've nailed it. The de-saturation IMHO, is what makes the shot work for me.
