A subdued and tranquil scene. The swoosh of clouds perpendicular to the curve of the river provides the interest, as I see it.

The C-curve starting in the lower right corner swings the eye into the center in a way that helps to frame the great reflection, and the channel takes it back to what appears to be like a vanishing point in the center. Nice feeling of depth too from the sharpness in the immediate foreground carried through the detail out to infinity. Guessing ultra-wide angle. Also, with the brightest spot over on the extreme right, and the main leading curve going back into the center, the overall feeling for me is one of a left-to-right flow in the image, one that always seems to feel more comfortable for me.

Love all he curves and swooshing in this one. I think the square crop works well.

The colors and the curves of the river and clouds work very well. I t looks like you used a very wide angle lens or a fisheye be cause the rive looks a bit distorted to me.

This has a lot of potential, but it appears to be almost straight out of the camera with little (if any) postprocessing work.
Some Curves contrast adjustment alone would really help make this wonderful scene 'pop'.

Wow, amazing sweep to the clouds. Like the way the sweep of the shore mirrors the shape.

Bobby,
Wonderful composition and feel to this image. As mentioned, the sweeping, swooping, gentle curves both in the sky and the landscape are wonderful. You didn't specify, but it has a fish-eye feel to it, without the huge distortion. Very important that you kept the continuity of the muddy shoreline at the bottom too.
I see where John's comments are coming from, the colors here are kinda pale - but then again, it comes off as quite natural too so whether or not to were to change the processing, I think it still works.
