Great colors and a good reflection , the upper right side distracts me , may be a little cropping to keep the whole pic in focus .

I agree with both. The branches at the top are not only out of focus; they are so far from the main point of interest that they pull the eye away from it rather than effectively framing it. I would also consider upping the contrast, e.g.,

I think the crop is an improvement. Foreground objects can be tricky. They can add interest or frame the subject but I think it's natural for the eye to want to focus on the object closest to us. Maybe it's our monkey brains wanting to make sure there are no tigers in the bushes right in front of us before we scan the horizon. Whatever it is, I'm having a hard time enjoying the beautiful sunset in the background because I keep trying to focus on the branches in the foreground.
