Greetings from the Critique Club!
Initial impression: Very soft and subdued, nicely balanced compostion. I love to find shots too, as opposed to go and make them, which can be fun too!
Technical: Hard to find fault. I'm a sucker for leading lines and ambient lighting, both of which you use well here. Deeper dof may have helped, as only the closer shoreline is in focus, but I like the impressionistic feel with a shallower dof. Does add to the painterly feel. You don't mention any post-processing steps, so if this is straight from the camera, well done!
Artistic: At a guess, I would say it's your lack of over-saturated colours that caused you to finish fairly low, as this site tends to favour deep saturation. I tend to go for an extreme or different POV; try kneeling or crouching in same location and Having said that, if it's your second challenge, then there's no place to go but up.
Overall: A lovely image, good work, keep shooting!
Feel free to PM me with any questions,
