This is a beautiful shot Paul; thanks for sharing. I found the lower 2/3 of the shot the most interesting as I made a virtual crop by simply scrolling down my monitor. I like the contrast in subject matter between the leaves and the dark browns of the river. The ducks make a difference.

I like it better if I crop the top.

Exactly Paulo, you said what I should have said. By doing as Paulo suggests you will have the trees framing the river/ducks on three sides. It makes for dramatic contrast in subject matter and enhances the beauty of the leaves.

Thanks for your thoughts and comments guys, a top crop may well work.
