This is my first image posted and I would like your take on the mixed background and the overall composition and lighting. Thank you for looking.

    welcome!
    it's a great shot..clap.gif .. the branches on the right could be cloned out fairly easy & I think that would maybe make it better..however I personaly don't do alot of that . I feel that , it's their habitat & you might as well leave it in.
