Looking at this size image, it looks good. But to really tell you should upload a larger image file. I don't present images that often, so forget how to do it, but I'm sure plenty of knowledgable hoggers will be on here shortly to tell you how.

I would also remove the branch in the lower left hand corner. The image appears to be a might sharper in the second photo. I imagine you did a little work there. Nice photo.

It's impossible to see from a thumbnail. Consider creating a reply and storing the file attachment for download. If I remember correctly, you need to be creating a file attachment at least 1600pixels wide.
From this thumbnail, it seems there's no way to recognize the branch was removed without the before image. But, I wouldn't trust a thumbnail for making a detailed yes / no assessment.

I'm a big lightroom fan and proponent of the of the LR/PS combo. If you have both let me suggest you open the file in PS and use content aware. 10 times easier, faster and much more powerful. This is not one of LR's strongest features although they constantly are making improvements.

A good place to ask questions about post processing is in the
Post Processing Digital Images section https://www.uglyhedgehog.com/s-116-1.html

You did a great job. Probably could have taken the lower 6 branches on the right side and the one on the left.

As a knee-jerk reaction from a committed minimal post processor, it looks good in the original photo! But, hey, it's your photo and the lightroomed one looks fine as well!
