I think the tips in the bottom right are a bit distracting, but I can't see how to crop the photo and make it look right. Also, with all those pine needles it's just so busy!

I think you have the best crop,anything different it just wouldn't look right. It not a very interesting pic to begin with. Try to clone out the bud at the right bottom corner and I think that is as good as it will get. 40D with 28-135 IS , Tamron 17-50 ,100-400 f4.5-5.6L, 100mm f2.8L macro IS, 430EX, 430EXll,MiniTT1/FlexTT5 , Kata R-103,
