What a beautiful capture! Everything's so perfect in this picture: the color contrasts, the foreground and background, composition, depth, focus, and the motif. Like fire and ice. I can almost imagine being there and drinking in the sight of this untouched wintery landscape suffused with amber light.

I hate to be predictable but all the cool buzz-words have been used ... Beautiful ...(blah blah) ... Warmth ... (blah blah) ... Composition ... (blah blah) .... All those words come from me as well, with all the loving spin I can muster .... BUT ...
(/rant on)
I feel like a Tank commander waiting for 'cloven hoof' clan to come breaking through the trees. I'm not a fan of frames (a pet peeve) but this is more cropped\focused\contraining than that. I want to look around and you've told me I can't. Is there an art teacher out there telling students to create tension by cropping to wide-screen perspective. When has 'Tension' ever been good.
(\rant off)

It's your artistic vision and I do respect your work. Please continue. (*ducks)

But words are things, and a small drop of ink, falling, like dew, upon a thought produces that which makes thousands, perhaps millions think and smile. Art is everywhere, except it has to pass through a creative mind.

I love this magnificent photo but I'm inclined to agree with Keith about the framing in this case. I use the widescreen framing myself on occasion but usually with more of a panoramic view, and when cropping it isn't cutting out much but more of the same. In this picture I feel like there's more trees and more reflections to be seen. On the other hand, the framing does fit nicely with the long horizontal stretch of the bridge so I see where you were going with that. I don't suppose you have an original un-cropped version of this masterpiece you'd be willing to share (batting eyelashes)... :). I must say though, that cropping and all this still gets a 10 from me, just an amazing scene captured~

Maybe the pic should show less of the water and more of the treeline to be even better, but that is a question of tastes, and the fact that this is a great photo is.. well, a fact!
