I didn't really do much to this photo on the computer considering I am relatively new to photography. I just cropped it a little and adjusted the contrast. Any help to improve would be greatly appreciated.

I see that you got hammered by the voters for this not being a still life.
The main problems that I see right off are the horizon out of level, and the blowout in the sky, upper left.
This scene may make a much better image early or late in the day, at dawn or dusk, which would help with the sky and general strong contrast. Not bad for a first entry though. I have been here a good while, and still enter a clunker that does not break 5 once in a while.
Seeing a little up above the top of those trees and also a little down below their reflections would have made this even more striking. I think a portrait format would have solved this nicely.
I'm not voting on this one because I don't want to give a really low score. This is not a Still Life. A Still Life requires an arrangement of inanimate objects.
