Nice capture.

[selig1656]

Thanks on another pic of mine you stated nice effort , this implies room for improvement, please if you will comment on that pic and where ni can improve .{ shadowman}

Just a thought but perhaps taming down the bright yellow in the top right would help. My own preference (rarely thought of as the norm) would be for a crop that showed more leaves to the front.

Brain interesting thought on the leaves included , will give it a shot .

+1 to Brian, cropping the bright yellow spot might give a better composition

[Ziggy]

I think overall this is a nice image. I agree with the others about the yellow spot.

You might try a crop that would move the subject slightly off center.

my personal preferrence is the original pic , but one never knows till we learn to listen

[Dave Humphries]

I prefer the second version Raymond.

(btw, I tidied up the start of the thread)

[purplehaze]

Me too for the second, Raymond.

[Ziggy]

I prefer version #2.

[selig1656]

Well I quess the verdict is that it seems that those that are more formidal than me , say the second pic is preferred . A viable lesson in composition for me . Thank you for the input , well taken.
