It was tough finding compositions here - lots of foreground trees, but I found a shrub I could use.

The branches on the left add something extra to the water area, but I think that the perfection of the reflection would hold it's own there without the branches. There's a nice "funnel" effect in the hillside and it's reflection. I could see burning in the sky just a bit here as it feels a bit bright.

I agree with Mark's comments. The cloud reflection closest to the shoreline has an odd tonality--like it was burned down. Not sure what's going on there. I like the blue in the water.

Mark,
I agree with the comments on the processing but just wanted to add that I really like the composition and the image. The symmetry and the bare branch hook my attention and hold it. For me the bare branch adds a lot.

This image has a lot of graphic quality. I'm not sure the branch adds to that IMO. Could make a very nice B/W with or without the branch. The center looks very dark on my Ipad, but that's probably about right.
