Nice capture.
Very nice perspective and conversion.
You've certainly found a great subject to "fill the frame" with. The image works quite nicely as a B&W.
Thank you for the comments guys.

Great subject and well rendered, Dave. My preference would be quite a bit more contrast and a slight lessening of the highlights. Be great if you can return and keep experimenting. It's when you can't get back it can hurt ! JMTCW
The conversion to B/W made the shot here. I am not fond of the peeking of the leaves though...
Rather than use a clone tool, I would first try painting over them using the adjacent color of the sky. The tones in the sky are so even I think that method would work just as well and faster.
