I considered the option, Axel. It also feels natural because you get a kind of symmetry around the base of the photo with the channel seemingly symmetric in the pic. As it is now, the perspective endpoint for the channel seems to hit a sweet point in the composition, and I thought that to be more important than mathematical symmetry at the baseline. Especially since there are so many lines to play on. Further, I think the willow on the LH side will become too dominating if you crop too much on the RH side. Notice also that the viewpoint is not exactly above the middle of the channel. So trying to align symmetry based on where the channel edges enter the pic, you end up with a skewed composition nonetheless.
