Did you "find" this shot or did you set up side lighting? Stating the obvious, the ample light allowed you a smaller aperture that brings in the foliage nicely. I wonder, however, if cropping out the "independent" twig to the right would work better to keep the eye to the Rhodie... Just a thought...
