Gotta like the sand ripples combining with the sky.

I'm amazed at the near perfect reflection of the mountain and the impressionist washes in the sky and trees. The broad washing effect is really nice. Is that natural or added in processing?

This is my favorite kind of reflection. I like the surreal elements that underlie the reflecting surface. I might prefer this one without the rotation. To me, rotated reflections often look a bit contrived. If they have enough cues to prevent confusion, I prefer to see them the way they were shot.

The picture seems quite realistic; I'm amazed there seems to be no distortion in the image from any of the ripples! If it wasn't for the visible ripples on the left side and in the sky, this could pass for the actual image. I like your comp on this with the framing by the trees.
Edit: After viewing your picture in your next post with the wider scene I realized the "ripples" were actually sand ripples from the bottom. That explains your crystal clear reflection; water completely still with visible sand-rippled bottom.

Another way to show the beauty of Zion.
