The picture seems to have a mix of messages.  Primarily it is saying: "I am a
landscape composed of a few basic elements, finely crafted, and emphisizing an
economy of means. It is a lovely image,  technically, but it may be searching
for a reason to be.  The three main elements: sky, water, and hills are all
fighting for attention.  I think this is in part because they all make similar
contributions to the composition and are unified by a common  scale and type
of texture.  One or two of the elements  must take a back seat.  Personally,
the clouds would be the first thing I would work with.
Then the birds, sun glare, and lens flare seem thrown in to add interest.  The
light effects add the most interest for me,... especially the lens flare
daring to divide the rectangle nearly in two.  The birds are mundane, merely
signifying "sky" or "nature".
