I really like the diagnol line of the bank in the foreground and I think you did a great job of framing it. Had it been running paralel (sp?) with the horizon it would not have been effective. However, I'm not crazy about the limbs from the tree poking into the right side of the frame.
Although the horizon is near center the natural slope of the mountains help to break it up so it doesn't bother me a bit.
Did you shoot this at eye level? One thing you might try is getting down to a lower vantage point so that the bush in the center of the frame would reach up higher than the mountains in the background. I think the silouhette of the branches against the sky would look really neat. As it is they kind of blend with the water and just don't pop like they could.
In all, I think you have a nice capture here..

That might be a good option...trying to get the larger tree in the middle to break the horizon. Yep, it was shot at eye level (approximately). Maybe have it break the horizon on the right 1/3rd to balance it with the sun on the left 1/3.

I'll have to add this to my list of potential "revisits".
