Enhanced levels a little and adjusted color. It was just a perfect day for this shot. Fog lifting off the lake, but enough reflection to mirror the restaurant. This was taken at Melton Lake near my house in Oak Ridge, TN

I think you've already accomplished your goal...you've not only seen beauty in this image, but you've made it beautiful as well. I love the tones of the water and land, as well as, the mist, which make it a moody shot. I would like to point out some things that I think could use improving. First, I think the sky is way too bright. Had you considered using a graduated ND filter? Or maybe placing the horizon higher so that there would be less sky? Secondly, the sky's color looks a bit unnatural to me...too purplish. Did you add that in your post processing? Finally, the structure is too dark. Other than that, I love this photo.
