Hi Steve,

Really nice scene you’ve captured here. I think overall it is looking great, but the main thing that bothers me is where you’ve cut the tree off up top, I also think there is a bit too much space around it. I think coming down a bit more and losing some of the sides feels a little more intentional. Something like this 5x7 crop I did:

This also gets rid of some of the distractions I noticed along the edges, but additionally I would darken some of the brighter branches and moss near the right edge like this:

Hope this is helpful!

Playing with it a bit more, this is another version of the crop that could also work if you also darken some of the branches and mosses near the right edge.

Or this as well! The main thing is losing the top, that’s the same in all three, but what you include on either side of the tree and where you position it according to the center is up to you.
