I love this. I would have cropped tighter on the right hand side, but I don't have the skills that you so obviously display throughout, that I trust your judgement here as well.

Did you try flipping it 180 degrees?
Interesting image with nice colors. There just enough reflections on the water to add some impact. On the other hand the white spots on the water upper left detract a bit. Title's play on words is choice.
