With the framing of the dark trees reflected above and dark water below, this feels very intimate to me, which I like. I also like the way in which it tricks my sense of depth. The composition feels a little tight; I'd be interested to see others if you moved around with the composition a little bit.

Ronald, this scene is a wonderful find to my eye. Viewing your image lets me think of going even closer and isolate a single group of reeds. That might work as a puristic and maybe almost abstract composition.

Great eye to spot this intimate scene, Ronald. The lighting here is sublime and I like the framing. My only suggestion would be to clone out or crop those grasses along the bottom of the frame. Either way this is lovely.

I like these type of images...just try to keep it simple...but oh so hard to do. Like it, but seems too busy.
