Thanks for all the comments—I really do appreciate them. Things have been a bit 
quiet in the critique department here, and it’s good to get feedback from 
people whose opinions I respect (hmmm…).

Another photo posted today; maybe the last of the New Hampshire series.

I also prefer the original.  The bit of shoreline at the top anchors the
image, and makes it more understandable without destroying the sense of
mystery.

Rick, believe I prefer the original.
I'm not enthusiastic about the tree
reflection. Now that I've rethought it,
I feel eliminating much of the tree
reflection, allowing a small amount 
the tree leaves and placing the lily
pads in the primary center and allowing the far end to open up
to whatever is complimentary
to the scene.
Feel I'm aimlessly rambling and 
am leaving it in your capable hands.
If you do make more efforts, I'll
doubtless see them on the list.
Best!

It feels somewhat crowded without
some surrounding space.
Allowing an outlet at the far end
would be pleasing and more 
comfortable for me.
