Bruce, I am ambivalent about this one.
On the plus side: I like the subject. I'm a long-time avid canoeist, and I've seen plenty of these. They're a PITA, but the picture recalls pleasant summer afternoons on quiet rivers. I don't share Ken's problem with the sky reflection; as you say, it does highlight the difference in water levels. OTOH: It -is- a bit of a jumble. The two trees divide the scene a bit awkwardly. And the contrast range is pretty darned high (that miserable California weather again...). I =do= think the subject is worth playing with. The tree on the left is pretty interesting, and I can imagine a shot taken from the opposite bank featuring the tree and its relationship with the dam, for example. Get out that canoe or pull on them hip-waders! BTW, if water is visibly and audibly leaking through the dam, the beavers have left. They are attracted to the sound of flowing water, and work to stop it.
