This is an excellent composition. It really evokes a peaceful mood. Much as I love black and white, I would have liked this in color better. You might consider getting rid of the handlebars. My eye keeps going right to them. There could be a bit more contrast between the water and the dock as the two areas blend almost invisibly into each other. There isn't a lot of detail in the water due to overexposure. Out of context it could be almost any surface--concrete, snow, sand. I'd also suggest cropping it to exclude the branches and bring a bit more focus down to the boy. You would still have quite an expanse of landscape, including the mountains. You might have to crop most of the branches and then PS the lowest ones to avoid placing the mountains at the very edge of the frame. Another idea would be to zoom right in on the boy (if your original is a large enough file to retain sharpness) and only show the water in the background and omit the architectural details. This would only work if the original were in color because of the issue I mentioned with the water and the dock obscuring into one plane.
