The top 'branches'/whatever did give some context, as I said: "Difficult, especially at the top, but I think a 'more finely tuned crop' top and bottom, may have made this even better.." - as you have 'overwritten' the other, I can't compare how much context is gone now, top and bottom. Still a good shot though, 'either way'.
While nice to see you did a recrop, my comments are more 'ripping photos apart to aim for perfection', and are only my opinions/suggestions (usually only after viewing for a short period) and generally 'retrospective'. So long as you are doing what you want with your photo (at shooting &/or 'pp'), taking comments into consideration, or not (as not all are 'valid' nor apt for your 'style'), that's the main thing. I wouldn't want you to have changed this when I may have been wrong - I am no expert in photography, just like looking at good photos and 'ripping them apart', in the hope it somehow 'helps' toward the photographer having a more 'critical eye' and taking a 'perfect shot' in the future, if that makes sense. Commenting/'ripping apart'/'critiquing' helps me to have a more 'critical eye' with my own shots too. edit2:another typo, fixed misquote of SELF & wording
