Its a good composition Layton and kinda unusual from the typical pics.
I'm not sure but certainly would try the same pic with an object on the right side to balance the image.

Hey Layton,
I think what Nagesh's recommendation is a valid one.........but IMO you can restore some of it with a crop. I like the placement of the trees in the frame.....so I tried a browser crop...scrolling until the bottom edge of the frame covers the spanish moss in the water between the 2 left trees. IMO.........this puts the focus solely on the Cupress's and restores the balance. I may also try toning down the one bright cloud in the sky.....just so it loses some of it's dominant presence.

Layton,

Not sure if the sun angle would have cooperated here, but I would have gone left and lessened the BG size of the land. Then concentrate on only the lower parts of the trees and the reflections.
