Minor repost: Delete the small branch on the upper left edge per Mark Seaver’s recommendation.
Critique Style Requested: Standard
The photographer is looking for generalized feedback about the aesthetic and technical qualities of their image.
Description
I tried to compose the image to guide your eye from the bottom right to the left and then back up to the right; also included a low hanging tree branch in the upper left-hand corner to create a canopy of sorts.

Specific Feedback

Continued exploration…
