Wow we got a featured critique Carlen. My aren't we a pair. LOL. I didn't even know the category existed. Thanks for your critique. Everyone has their own idea of what makes a good photograph. The rule of thirds is a good rule of thumb but rules are meant to be broken. LOL. I wish I had thought to get the photograph at a couple of angles that would have left me a few choices. Thanks for your encouragement to getting better, it means allot thanks.
Best wishes friend,
Garold

Hey not sure if you've seen it yet but you got a featured critique on my snail #1 shot!! That's really cool. 
Well, I'll disagree with Fatemeh. I think it works because the birdhouse is in the middle. My eye normally is drawn to the middle of an image so if it were off to one side it might get lost in the busy-ness of the branches and leaves. Maybe a slightly tighter crop would help this. I would have zoomed in when I had originally taken the shot but I like that you didn't because it gives this sense of overpowering the little bird house, like there is something special hiding if you look close enough.
Keep playing with PS, you will be amazed all all the possibilities! Plus, it can be a lot of fun. :)

I thank you dear for looking and critiquing my photograph. This is really a lot further out of my ability range than I ever imagined. I found myself trying too hard to make an ordinary photograph extraordinary. I agree that I did not follow the rule of 1/3ds and that would have made the composition better. Thank you for helping me.
My Best,
Garold

i really can't choose my favorite between them, but i think i like this one more, something unusual! i like the harmony between the colors: dark red and dark brown! but i prefer the bird house not exactly in the middle.
thanks for sharing such a beautiful scene dear Garold!
good luck!
