Fine warm light with the fog making for a very pleasant, minimalist view. The gentle reflections are a great addition. This creates a wonderfully warm and inviting feeling. While I like this as posted, I also wonder how a crop to move the birds a bit lower in the frame would look.

Ah, some of the magic that fog brings: Soft light, soft colors, and there is nothing like it to simplify the background. Lovely scene.

Beautiful, soft light and the subtle reflections are sweet. I, too, might try a version with the birds placed lower in the frame. I think the line of birds begs for a pano crop.
