This was a small stream just off the BRP last year. I like the framing of the fallen branch.

The branch does define this image and I like the feel of swiftly moving water. Over-all, the image is a little dark for me.

Repost looks much better Bob. If you're processor allows, I'd mask out some of the brightening in the upper left corner to keep the eye focused centrally. Was that small branch reachable?? If so, lifting it out of the scene would improve the flow and allow the eye to settle on that more attractive large branch.

I like the framing of the fallen branch, too. I can see why you like this.
The original is a bit for me, too. I agree with John, when you lighten it, keep that upper left corner a bit dark. When it gets light, it pulls your eye away from the branch and the moving water directly beneath it, which is what really catches my eye in this image. To me, this is a case where the Shadows/Highlights tool would work well if you have it, to just barely lighten up the darkest areas, like the underside of the big branch.
Nice job on the water.
