We'll see how this does. I like the picture and both trees and streams have branches. Taken at Cuyahoga Valley National Park. The stream is just above Blue Hen Falls.

The first thing that I notice in this photograph is the waterfall, which is good, although the challenge was branch, your DOF is to small, you could have gone with a wider open DOF maybe 5.6 or so, this would give it focus from front to back, what i think happend here is you wanted the cotton candy effect for the water fall, so you used a slow shutter speed, but the wind was blowing which resulted in the leave being out of focus.
The color is good, i love the green
The border is a good touch
overall your photograph is a good shot,would be much better if the leaves were in focus,
Too noisy in some spots. I like the little waterfall--I wish the branch didn't interrupt it; you could say the waterfall was a branch of a river or something.
The focus has moved from the branch (which needs a more careful focal range) to the water falling (which would still be obvious without sharp focus, especially the way you have captured the light so well)
