I like how the light hits the tree in the center. I applaud you for looking at interesting crops, however in this instance it does not work for me. The extra sky at top and bottom is uniteresting and I'd like to see more of the tree on the left.

Placing the horizon in the center makes the image to symmetrical, which places equal weight on the top and bottom halves of the image, which confuses the eye as to what it should be focusing on. Maybe crop out half of the reflection?

Also, I know the HDR brought out a lot of detail in the shadow areas, but it also made the overall image flat and grey. Maybe throw on a little more contrast to pump everything back up?
