seems a bit noisey, and I'm not sure what I think about the crop on the bushes, but I do like the shot, espcially the color gradient. Next time, try to get more of the brush and land to frame the bottom of the shot.

Thanks for the comments. I wanted to get more of the bushes, but I couldnt because any lower and there would have been the rooftops of houses in the shot, which I diddnt want in this particular shot. It is a bit noisy and I am trying to learn how to reduce this.

How to reduce noise: Chang ISO from 400 to 100

That'll still give you a shutter speed of 1/200 in this case, which is ample at 55mm. I like the textures in your shot.

I REALLY like this. Compositionally, I do wish there were a bit more of the tree(s) on the bottom.

Rendezvous: thanks for the tip.
Kenyc: Thanks for the compliment, next time I will try climbing over my back wall for a better angle to get some more of the trees in the shot.
