By asking how to improve it, are you saying that there's something about it that you don't like? Your basic strategy should be to get it as close to what you want in the camera. Use post-processing to bring it to its final form. This looks like a basic "you were there" shot. It's special for the photographer and any people who were also there. Does it capture the moment? If so, you've achieved your objective. To my eye on my monitor, it looks a little cool. See how you like it if you warm it up a bit. If the houses in the foreground do not hold any significance, you might try to crop above them. That would draw the eye more to the body of water and mountains.
