Fountain's Abbey - Bench Reflection

Paul Iddon

While on a day out with members of a UK based forum, I took this rather nice shot of a bench reflection at Fountain's Abbey in Yorkshire.

I think the composition works nicely using the tree on the left side as a stopper.

WDYT?

The composition is good. But something just doesn't hit me. I keep looking at it to decide what could be done. My first thought was to use a quick mask and mask off the bench and then darken everything else. The tree it self is a bit bright and the scene behind it is at the same level so the tree branches and the background behind seems to blend together.
