I'm gonna go out on a limb (no pun intended) and say that I always shoot a scene as found, no changes (the golfer in me, I guess). I take whatever Mother Nature hands me and work around it. The stick there tells a story - a recent windstorm, maybe a racoon fight in some tree, etc *LOL* Each to their own opinion, tho. I really like this shot, but then again, I'm a real sucker for waterfalls!
