I liked this photo even straight out of the camera, and all it took was a little tweak via curves and saturation. Now I LOVE it!!
(hope everyone else will, too)

What an absolutely beautiful place. I really like the composition, the reflection is great, the green off to the right adds a nice touch. Well done, I could just sit and look at this for quite some time.
whoah! Where's the water? This drought is getting WAYYY out of hand. Nice documentation of the situation: still beautiful, but who'd have dreamed there'd EVER be that much shoreline?
Majestic and sweeping. The way you've placed the lake shore on the right side of the image creates a wonderful line leading up to the distant peaks. I might have tried to knock a little of the haze out with a curves adjustment, but maybe you were going for that moody, foggy feel. Either way, you've done a wonderful job, making this picture!
I think this image, while nice, could be stronger if you cropped more off the sky. You have a beautiful leading line with the shore on the right, and lots of interest in the mountain range and its reflection. The sky doesn't add too much IMO. Cropping it would move the waterline more toward the rule of thirds, which, makes this image stronger. Alternatively, if you feel that is too much water, leaving the sky and cropping so that the horizon is exactly in the middle works, too. I guess at the moment the image seems a little indecisive to me since you could go either way. If that makes sense.
