Nice behavior shot and that background looks very Floridish. I might suggest that you clone out the branch in the LR corner.

I like the mood here Richard with that threatening sky and also enjoy the graphic lines of the tree limbs.

Love the light. Moody
Seems like a pano type crop may work well here.
Nice work Richard
