I think this is a really neat capture, however, the colors just seem really odd. One commenter said it looked unnatural. I think it's the pink colors. I don't like how the pink covers the weeds and trees as well. I think had it just been the sky that was pink, that might have been ok, but the 'silhouettes' are pink as well and that just doesn't work for me.
There is a strong horizontal green line that goes straight through the center of the photo which is a huge distraction and also divides the photo in 1/2 almost exactly, which is not visually appealing in this case to me.
The green with the pink reminds me of great grandma's house in the 70's. Really clashing colors that do not really go well together in my eyes. Someone had to have liked it once upon a time though. lol
I also wish the sun reflection was not directly in the center of the photo. The 2 strong lines kind of divide the photo into quarters.
Focus is good on the weeds in the front, but the background and weeds further up are out of focus. I wish the entire thing were in focus.
I think this almost borders along the lines of abstract rather than landscape.

To me, just doesn't look natural, to pink maybe?

I like the idea and the appearance of the water. I think this would be much more powerful though in a landscape format and with the sun off center to the left.

The colors seem too unnatural to me.

Very nice. I like the composition here, and the color is lovely. I would like to see a bit more detail from behind the water to the trees, but that might be pretty tough to do in a shot like this.
