Hi George, quite a beautiful scene. The light on the reed in the left bank of the creek creates a rather warm feeling, despite your about... Good composition, too; the creek creates a strong line in the lay-out of this image. I feel a bit ambiguous about the left side; part of me wants to crop off a small strip to narrow the field of view to the river, yet the details in that area are also pretty interesting. Either way, I don't think its really important either. It's a very good shot, and a lovely scene.
