I got confused with the neck because if it folds like that, how come the vertabrae go straight up, rather than bending with the neck? That was my confusion.
That dragon looks impressive already, I like the eye. You could try finding a blurry forest pic for the background, or a normal one then blur it, so it doesn't detract too much attention from the actual dragon.
Try drawing a forest with various details, small creatures possible etc., then add the Dragon over it. Obviously keep a copy of the forest alone.
I need to get into drawing again...
