Your ripples image is most attractive and clever of your to spot its potential.
I feel it would be even more attractive if it were cropped a little. The leaves top left are not really helping your picture and I prefer the image without them.
You can check this on your screen by scrolling the image upward.
There are two good compositions still.
1. Cropped just below the leaves top left and clone out that brown twig near the fern on the right.

2. Cropped even further down, just above that rounded tuft of moss top left.
That leaves three leaves in the top right corner which could be left or cloned out too, depending on your taste.
My preference would be choice #2 minus the 3 leaves top right.

A very pleasant image. Thank you for posting it.
