A very Zen-like photo almost haiku in composition and simple beauty. I do like the idea but I feel that some elements of the composition need improvement to move it out of the average category and into the wonderfully elegant category. This capture has much potential. First, a closer crop, say a square crop on just the reeds and some of the water. As such you have too much negative space both above and below the reeds that do nothing for the composition as a whole. A tighter frame would keep the focus on the main subjects -the reeds. Next, the dual color tones seen here is not complementary to the zen-like mood or composition. The water has a blue hue on one side while the other side is a brownish shade. I wonder if you could have moved to change angle to get just a solid blue shade for the composition. This would have enhanced the zen-like feel for the blue symbolically represents harmony and just one dominent color gives it that simple elegance that dominates much of zen photography.
