Hi Gisele,

I think this is a great source photo, and that you will enjoy painting it. I agree with Tom that the white blob is a problem. When I cover it with my hand, though, I feel that the composition is too heavily weighted to the left. In lieu of the blob, I might think about scattering a few skyholes along the hedge, with the larger sky holes to the right. They will be shapes that need no other explanation and allow to move the viewer's eye in a comfortable way.

Good luck!
