 Midday shot with sun in and out of the clouds. Taken at 20mm with my Sigma 10-20, and used a circular polarizer filter.

I can understand the other comments but there are many things that I do like about this image; I like the low horizon and I think what drew you to this shot was the amazing cloud formations and the wonderful reflectional aspect. No evidence of mankind, for me, fills it with tranquility. Enjoy the memory but maybe next time you could incorporate the other suggestions, resulting in a higher impact image; maybe a lone bird, etc., playing at the water's edge...

good colors and contrast, but there isn't a focal point to the image to really engage your thoughts

This looks like a bad first attempt at HDR, IMO. The image is not very sharp, as iff the tripod had shifted slightly due to the wind.
