I tried this b&w but like the touch of color better.

Taken under one of my favorite trees, a large copper beech.

    I like this. Have you considered a square crop?

    Square crop feels too tight for me, too much of the tree is lost.

    OK. I like it, now you have two triangles balancing each other on the lower left and upper right corners...

    The water is magic! Really sets off the subject. The overall composition is masterful! I love both crops. --Carter

    Really nice composition. I agree with Carter, I could go either way on the crops. Nicely done!

    Pleasing use of silhouette... nice!
    I see Cristóbal's point... but I think I agree with you, and prefer the original - both work though.
