Ronald, I hadn’t seen your photography before, so before I commented on this image I went to your website and looked through some of your galleries to gain some context. You’ve got some amazing images show you have a great eye for detail, patterns, textures and story telling in photography with a very natural and realistic feel. I was very impressed!
That being said for me this particular photograph just doesn’t have the same impact as some of your other work. I’m just not feeling as strong of a story or mood from it. I’m curious if this photograph or moment has particular meaning for you? I’d like to hear more about why it moves you.

I like the contrast between the light color of the park and the dark green of the background and the contrast in the textures. The composition is not really grabbing me. I am not totally sure why. It might be that the tree is centered or that the tree is cut off abruptly at the top. With out seeing the whole scene I don’t really have a suggestion on a different composition.
Ronald, my comment would be that the trunk is too much in the center and takes up too little of the frame. Perhaps I would bring the NW corner inwards, keeping the aspect ratio but making the trunk “fatter” and moving it closer to the left edge. I would do this to the point were you just lose the small branch. The colors are contrast are spot-on in my view.
