more practice than the best image
thoughts about crop, leaving, removing branches?

I like the sky pastels. Maybe a small change to the compo and a few minor tweaks?

nice, to me subtle changes.
what did you do Karen. All I can tell is maybe a bit of curves?

Try cropping in from the sides to lead the eye up the base of the tree to the top bird. Maybe get rid of the bottom-left bird altogether.

I clipped a bit from the left and created more space on the right to slightly alter the composition. I bumped the mid-tone contrast with my usual USM 16, 60, 0 to add brightness snap. I used Topaz DeNoise to to smooth the sky and then slightly sharpened it to slightly better define the edge contrast. Finally I used selections to bump the exposure layer's gamma to add a small vignette.

Love your "tweaks" and "adjustments"
