okay... first of all, I get immages like this one a lot and am always dissatisfied. What I'd like to see is the following:

1. crop a little less square (more like 3:2 if you can)
2. crop out the berries in the bottom left (and top left) corners.... the bottom left ones are pretty distracting for me
3. if possible, i would have liked to see the bottom (trunk) of the tree. This way it just looks randomly cut in half
4. the highlights on the tree are blown :( see how the right part kinda blends onto one red blob, looks like its on fire on something... im not sure how this is fixed as i get it a lot on my flower shots too, but i think this one is a bit overexposed.

all in all, tehnically, i think that when you shot it, you should have turned the camera vertically and the crop and bottom part of the tree would have been better solved

what i do like is that you get a sense of depth between the red tree and the background, which is even more great seeing how you shot it at 200mm. I don't know how i could/would have pulled that off cos i can never separate a tree from the forest :)
