You took a lovely shot here with the picture. It's very tranquil, it has eye-popping colours in the trees, and those warm shades have good contrast with the sky. I like the mist on the water, it sets a "before hours" kind of tone.

Now, you didn't describe it or anything, but I think if you wanted to convey a peaceful mood of just waking up, you did! I find myself focusing more on the trees to the right. The reason is because they pop out more. Even with serenity comes a life to this picture that I think is somewhat lost on the left side, but is more noticeable on the right. You have this little red house, like a point in space, and those great trees towering above it. My eyes zero in on that side more.

Another thing I notice is that this picture is on a slant. If it's on a small hill, that's understandable and just ignore this next part. If not, it's just enough that the longer house and the trees behind and in the reflection look off-balance, as if the right side is tipping the scales by a couple degrees. I think a tiny bit of rotating (counter-clockwise) might help with that balance.

Good stuff there! Lovely place to capture.
