I wish you cropped a little bit more at the top, the structure(s) up there is very distracting. Also, I love cattails, but I can't make out any of the flowering spikes in your shot. Sharper focus would help as well.

This picture feels a lot like a snapshot, and doesn't really do it for me. I would like to see a bit more of the parts above the lake, seems so much prettier. 5

not near enough focus in this...and actually I don't see any cattails at all, seeded or new ones...just sea/salt/marsh grass

Agreed that cattails are flowers but it is difficult to see the point being made in the picture. The cattails are not even clearly visible.
