Looks like your original post was a little broken. Having looked at the image, the horizon looks slightly elevated from left to right, so I'd probably level that out. The reflection of the sky on the water is nice. I don't know if this is how it looked, but the color just seems to be flat. Maybe this would work better in B&W?

I agree with that the horizon is a tad crooked. That should be able to easily be corrected with some slight rotating.

The horizon is also smack-dab in the center of the photo, which I find not too interesting. If the horizon line was below where it is currently, perhaps a 1/3 up into the frame, this would create a more unique look.

Was this taken in the evening? Everything seems so dark, so bumping the ISO higher than 400 and/or making the exposure longer than 1/250 is worth a shot!
