I agree with the balance issue. The branch in the photo looks much more overpowering than it does in real life. Funny how that works..

The branch is a little too thick and dominant for the tree it is attached too, making the
tree look off-balance with it there. Removing the branch makes the
composition look unbalanced. Adding a tree "further back" would remove the balance problem with the tree without creating a new balance problem in the composition. The new tree could have the exact same branch placement, just a thinner branch. That way, neither the tree nor the composition look unbalanced. Kinda the same principle behind using two strands of small wire instead of one strand of large wire on tough branches.
Compromise.
