Interesting composition Mark, and your processing looks real good, I might try getting rid of the branch on the left side, kind of catches my eye, other wise, Very nice indeed.

Strong comp and I like the conversion Mark. I'd probably clone out the vertical branch about 3/4 down on the left mostly to emphasize the the upper branch which I like a lot. However, I like the image as posted.

Mark, the B&W works just fine here. The larger version shows off the reflection pretty well.
Peering through scenes similar to this work well at times. However, it does take some thought on the amount of foliage one is looking around or through. The idea is to limit it so it does not become the main focal point.
With that idea in mind I would, as already suggested, clone out the dangling thin left branch. It seems to be an eye magnet. With the open sky that should be an easy fix IMO....

Really nice b/w reflection scene, Mark. I agree with the suggestion to clone out the left branch. It would make a good shot even better.
