The exposure looks ok on my monitor.

Aesthetically the horizon cutting right across the middle of the scene is a bit of a problem.
I wonder how the scene would look from an even lower POV .

Ha ha.. sorry but couldnt go lower than this, couldnt keep tha camera on the ground, so its my palm thats seperating the two..

As I just held it on the ground and clicked, there was no way to adjust the composition on the spot.. The one possibility of getting the horizon correct was cropping it, but then its practically starting with the twig, and that would've cut it too. I also tried darkening or blurring the background but that too was taking its toll on the twig...
Thanks alot for the suggestions..
