There's a lot to love in here, and a lot to not love!

I find it too busy, but there are some wonderful elements in it that I like very much. The tree, reflection of the tree, and those curious white curved lines upper right are great stuff. Short of going in there with a rake and a shovel, I don't see any way to remove the busyness, unfortunately, so I am overall thumbs down despite really really liking the parts I mentioned.

Written before I read amolitor's post:     A little too good.  Not only is it better than my photographs, but all this beautiful, complex, and effective orchestration takes the sting out of the ravages of time.  Or maybe it is just too early in the morning.

As to the busyness that bothers amolitor:  That's what time does when it ravages, though you are welcome to shovel and rake.

There are a lot of great elements in there, but it's a little too busy for me...
