As for the green color I think that's good and it matches the window heading backgrounds more. The opened windows are covering up the paw in the background (the brightest part). As long as there's not too much contrast between the paw and the green and it's not too bright/hard on the eyes I'd keep it as my background.
The image itself is awesome. The color brightness/contrast may need a bit of tweaking if I were to leave it as a desktop background. The bottom left of the paw where it's more brown/orange is less contrast/easier on the eyes than the top of the paw where it's white.
