Tonemapped in photomatix then adjusted WB tint towards green, and adjusted the recovery slider in LightRoom.
The reflection was the first to catch my eye but was in need of foreground interest so included the tree. I included the forest for depth in the image (and I liked the lighting over there).
I think the tree, because of its prominence in the foreground would overpower the image if the image were cropped just above the shoreline including just the base of the trees.

I feel just focusing more on the reflection of the trees in the background , converting to a suitable duotone and loosing the foreground subject would create a better image that would suit your title better. 5
I love what you have done here and this is extremely difficult to isolate this tree like you have here. The pic is not sharp though and feel lighting could be better. I would play around with angles and this is an opportunity that could be used more. To get the right light you need time and patience and time. Its worthwile to do that if you live close by. This has winner written all over it with different comps and lighting. You have the location and the setting. Use it now. 6
