I think this is about the first time that I have used the dodge and burn tools, so it'll be interesting to see how this does.

I think I understand what you were doing with this composition -- the nice tree, wall, and post on the left give it the vertical lines for the portrait orientation. It looks to me like you did a good job with the dodge and burn. Short of reshooting the picture from a position closer to the river, to give that a more vertical orientation, I don't know what you could do to improve this. The way it is, I feel frustrated that I can't see past the tree to where the river is going.
Interesting composition. The lines of the river seem to be in conflict with the implied lines of the wall and foliage on the left. If there was an interesting subject at their intersection this might work, but as it is, my eye just drifts into the empty corner at the top left.
Bland with little for the eye to come to rest on. Lighting could have made this so much better - try a dawn walk for photography. The alarm clock is the best piece of equipment a photographer can have
