I really like the vertical lines, hopefully that was the intent. I think there maybe a few too many. I also think the light is a bit too even to bring any depth to the photo. STill I like the intent and the mix of natural elements works well.
A 7 from me... I quite liked the natural scenery on this one but I do think a point of interest would've helped, like a duck or something. I disagree with the statements about the scene being too busy, life is too busy. Sometimes people just want to over-simplify photography but forget to see the natural beauty that is...
I do think a tad bit of +saturation would've been nice.
