Hey bro...love the character work. Really crisp, nice design and pose. I think the composition is fine as it is but you can really play with value to accentuate the form and depth of the snake to drive it further. Tried to show with some basic shadowing how that might work. Also tweaked the colours and saturation a bit to bring the focus into where it should be more as your values were pretty light overall. Tried to push the idea of warm vs cold a bit more as well.
Think the feathers behind the girls hands are competing quite a bit so maybe do something about that but in general I think just getting those values, colour temperature and focal points will really help this pic without needing to rejig comp or anything pretty major. :)
A thing though that is a bit odd when it comes to narrative is the girl is facing totally away from the creature that is about to eat her head, and she's smiling about it! Doesn't work.
