I think the composition is just fine.

Totally nice picture here.

I like the shot's general composition. The only thing that I am not in love with is the tree in the right hand side foreground. It is kind of distracting, but I am not sure that the shot would look work without it.

I love the fog and the frosty vegetation -- not loving the leafy tree on the right ... maybe if you got down lower and had some nice frosty stuff in the foreground as well as the curvy river? I like the delicate reflections too ... nice atmosphere ...

Nice capture of the mood, but all of the foreground interest is on the right side, so the composition feels unbalanced to me.

I also don't like the tree on the right side. Perhaps moving around a little to have something else in the foreground would make it slightly more pleasing.

I love the mistyness though.

Thank you all for your critiques on this photo. I wondered if the leaves on the upper right of the photo was appealing. Your opinions certainly give me insight on composition.
