I can't see anything in this picture that needs to be changed. Very nicely done.

I think that it is a beautiful capture. Definitely one to show! - However, a bit of advice passed on from someone who I asked the same question. If your not sure, make a set of L frames - I'm sure you know the ones I mean but if not ask and I'll explain; Move them around the composition until the composition jumps out at you. If it does, congratulations, if it doesn't then it is most probably successful without modifications or not a successful image (the latter does not apply in your case!). If you're still unsure - Make two draft prints, one with one composition and one with another, leave them together and walk away, go to bed, go out, go for dinner - hey, go on holiday, come back and which ever one stands out to you first - go for it!

My personal opinion is that it is a successful composition but may be as much of a success if you cropped some of the water off and made it more of a panoramic. I would enjoy either. But hey, that's personal - if you like it, then admit it. Be proud of it and enjoy it. Remember, just because you photographed it, doesn't mean it can't be yours to enjoy!

Thank you all for your kind and useful comments.
Thanks WilburSmallForcet for your very useful idea about choosing and framing. BIGTUFFGUY -- I also see now that its missing a focus point for the eye - the point where the eye is drawn.
Thanx again to everyone :-)
