I can suggest two crops: You can crop just below the top left reflection/ice build up. Reason is that I find that part disturbing to the quiet golden light of the uncluttered background. and draws too much attention to itself at expense of the whole image. The downside is, I think the image needs that top space to give the subject room to breathe; or you can crop right around the actual rock and tree formation, almost square, more intimate. This allows the eye to move with the natural circular movement of the bough. Lovely light.

It might be worth trying to get rid of the ice in the upper left corner with the content-aware fill in PS.

I like the image, but, like John, I find that ice at the top a bit distracting.

I join the small group of "no ice in the left corner" but it's a very nice shot!

I like the subject but the shot doesn't jump out at me. I have to agree about the corner ice but maybe a different composition is the answer? Hard to say no knowing what else would be in the frame but I often try to include more context if it can fit in coherently (a big if).
