I love the warm colors of sunrise/sunset here. I also like the old trees on the opposite side of the river, and how everything is 'leaning' towards the light source. IMO, some of the clouds are a tad too yellow? Great fall colors...

The whole image looks underexposed, if it's a daytime shot, and there's an odd color cast on the whole image. Maybe it's from the ND filter or processing. For me, there isn't enough of the river included to make a slow shutter / motion blur worth while. The composition looks forced, like you were avoiding something at the bottom or trying to hold to the rule of thirds too rigidly.

Very nice light on the far bank, and on the clouds. And, the warm colors are just as nice. Well done.
