John,
Hard to comment on the lake level since we have no reference and so many reservoirs I've seen have high water marks and it's hard for me to tell from this image that there are existing drought conditions.
Purely from a landscape image this looks really good. Great sky and I love the color in the water. The only suggestion I have would be a crop of maybe 1/3 off the bottom sage to more of a pano format. I think that helps emphasize the sky and clouds as well as the long shoreline. Nothing wrong with the foreground vegetation; just maybe more than enough? Just my .02. Still, a nicely photographed landscape image.
