The compsition is good but it need better processing.
Three things that would make this picture score higher:
1. Its look a little blurry to me. Using unsharp mask or other sharpness tools would help.
2. Use the original fall colors not sepia.
3. Increase brightness of the foreground by using a highlight/shadow tool.
There is nothing that really captures my interest in the photo. The clouds are nice, but the shore is under exposed. Maybe stopping down for increased sharpness over the entire photo and focusing on the pile of whatever that is would have helped?
