Played around with Topaz. Not a bad first edit.

Here's the original:

I would crop off a smidgeon more of the bottom there's a couple of distracting things down there.

I like the look of the stuff on the other side of the lake. I wonder about adding a hint of vibrance to bring out the color of the lake itself a little.

I like the original very much, lack of contrast aside, as there is a neutral quality to the background trees which is very winter-like.
In your PP you have intensified hues for both background and foreground, so both background bluish cast and foreground branches reddish hue are quite evident.
It's a way to go, but personally I find a more neutral rendition more to my taste.
Or alternatively, if you like a saturated version, move slightly the hue for branches, woods and water to make them complement each other more.
Just my 2 cents, but I have weird tastes :)
Nice scene, I'd love to live in a place like that.

Not over the top. Which is good, because many of us, myself included, have had a tendency to really overcook images when first trying out tonemapping. Let me see what I can do with it.
