The chain in the upper left corner is too distracting. Love the grittiness of the photo.

Beautiful mood and tone with this picture. The reflection in the foreground is really nice. It adds some interest as a starting point to lead your eyes around the photo. Nice.

The textures are really amazing! I've never been able to get water to look this good when not in real life.... ;-)

My eye keeps looking for the bigger clouds though. It's deceiving that the clouds we see on the top are really only the second, smaller reflection. I also think it's a bit of a shame that the trees, which are quite plain, take up so much of the frame. With more sky, the trees would seem more like silouhettes, (especially on the right), than a barrier. Maybe with a slightly wider lens, and a vertical orientation, the detail of the water could have been captured, but more of the sky would have been preserved too.
