You have an excellent nature study. The reflection is just perfect. But please consider these changes: 1) Do you really need all the reflection or all of the mountain? The horizon is so centered that one or the other should probably go away. 2) The exposure is probably technically "right on" but the image may look a liitle better if the colors were more saturated.

Beautiful landscape. The reflection seems to have more color and depth.

Good reflection shot. But, it's a bit blurry and blocky, probably mainly because you used such high JPEG compression. This image is 29K, you have 150K to use! If you use a higher quality setting when saving to the JPEG file, it will look a hundred times better.

Also I would recommend a polarizing filter on shots like this, it will make the sky a deeper blue. You could help a little by bumping up the blue in Photoshop with the curves dialog. Especially since this is the BLUE challenge... :) It could use a tiny bit more "kick" to the blue since it's kind of overpowered by the rich greens.
