Fantastic shot, love the varying ripples upon the water. Could I make the small suggestion of cropping the left a little to the centre of the tree that side, leaving just the three arches on the left visible and giving a matching 'greenery' edging to that side to mirror the right? Might be just me, I'm no expert, but that works better to my eye when I obscure that far edge.
