Default Letters in Nature

For Christmas presents I had the idea that I would find things that looked like letters and spell out peoples names in matted frames.
This is the M that I came up with.
I've stared at it so long that I can't decide whether or not I adjusted the exposure correctly.
Any other critique is greatly welcome but I mainly would like input on the exposure

Exposure ok, Not sure about your composition though, try cropping? as I see too much empty space above it.

For what I'm using it for I have to keep all of them consistently at a 4x6 proportion. But I do agree it looks better with the sky cut down.

I agree with the cropping comment but see why its not possible here. The exposure is OK and its a useable M but I would keep an eye out for another one. Its a difficult letter to fit into 4 x 6 as its very wide in comparison to the other letters. W will be a difficult one as well if you need it.
