Jim:
Personally, I would crop the righthand branch out and add some contrast, and definitely clone out some of the linear looking streaks that appear.

A very interesting takeaway from the park, Jim. I really like it.
Are those "streaks" raindrops?
I agree with Douglas about the righthand branch- but only the top section. The rest I'd keep.
Creative work.

<Big Smile> I was actually going for a soft look, but it might be nicer with more contrast. I'll give that it a try when I return from my business trip tomorrow. The smile is because sometimes, being the person that took the shot you know too much and others don't see the shot the same way you do. The streaks are actually fine snow flakes. I think I'll take them out. I like the branches on the right though. Thanks for your comments.
I really like the first redo, the square crop works really well, I would tone down the bright out of focus flower in the background though, it does distract a bit.
