Some points on this image:
The trees would be better if they are isolated from the distracting background. The question is, "can they be isolated?".
You are some distance from the key subject matter of this scene, and that has added clutter and distraction of surrounding trees: there is no prominent key in the subject, rather just a spread of scene. Moving in closer so you have only a small number of trees to work with ... did you explore that option?
There is an indistinct reflection in the water. For some viewers, this can be taken as abstract and desirable (especially in colour). What was your intention there?
In planned, ideal conditions e.g. no wind or breeze (evening/early morning), bisecting the image in the centre with the trees at the top and their reflection in the water would very much be offering an interesting and provoking illusion to viewers.
The image is made on 4x5. But it could also be made on practically any camera available. How does the format make it better in light of shortcomings?
Exposure and tonality is beautiful, but in terms of thought of composition and what is important, it needs further exploration.
