There are wires in it. Tha... Yeah, that's about it.

Awesome shot! I feel I wanna rotate it right 90° and light the fuse.

I'm thinking maybe I should flip it horizontally so that the eye moves across the photo better.

Right now I do read it right to left and my eye just keeps going. There is nothing there to stop and make me linger.

The colors are rich, the DoF is great for the subject, technically the picture is great, compositionally though it could be improved with a few 'rules'. One I am sure you have never heard is the 'rule of thirds' , the other is diagonals are more interesting than vertical or horizontal lines. Right now your tree lines (up and down) are diagonal, but they form an arrow that leads the eye right out of the frame. If your water line were the diagonal that went from one corner of the frame to the other, the tree lines would be more interesting and varied. The last composition rule that helps is, one clear subject. As a viewer, I am not sure 'what this is a picture of'. In abstract photos that doesn't bother me, but in landscape it really does. What are you trying to 'show off or highlight'? Make my eye focus somewhere. I look forward to seeing more of your work.
