I would have went with a horizontal format from where you were shooting. Maybe move several feet to the left and get in front of the puddle (if it was there) so there are no distracting branches. By moving to the left, you would have filled up the horizontal frame. Also, add a little more of the "wave" on the ground to the left in the shot so it "flows better". And finally, the image you have here is slightly tilted counter clockwise.
