In my opinion it would make a great abstract shot if you croped the top, my variant of the photo

Thank you really much, Dorota?
Why do you think that your variant is an abstract image?

Well, to me it's an abstract because of the composition, there is no perspective view, it's removed from its surroundings /we see the reflection and the water only/, two very different colors and texures,which create a contrast for the eye....

Well. I'd prefer definition from Wiki:
"Abstract art is now generally understood to mean art that does not depict objects in the natural world, but instead uses color and form in a non-representational way.[1] In the very early 20th century, the term was more often used to describe art, such as Cubist and Futurist art, that depicts real forms in a simplified or rather reduced way—keeping only an allusion of the original natural subject. Such paintings were often claimed to capture something of the depicted objects' immutable intrinsic qualities rather than its external appearance. (See abstraction.) The more precise terms, "non-figurative art," "non-objective art," and "non-representational art" avoid any possible ambiguity."
