Lower the reflection of the water. This looks like almost 100%, try 50
or lower.

This is really good, it reminds me of one of the old black and white
Sherlock Holmes films like "The Hounds of the Baskervilles".

A weathercock on top of the tower might be a good idea. 

Also I feel a Tardis coming on.

PS: I love foggy scenes.

Actually he was correct in his usage of weathercock in the first place.
A device which sit on a roof line that indicates the direction of the
wind. This particular description of the device comes from the long
time use of a rooster shaped airfoil common in the America's from the
early 1700's to date. Tho oldest versions of these were crafted from
cast iron in very ornate patterns and are very valuable collecters
items now.

 I thought weather to use a similar pun but my own vanity would not allow it.
I don't want to come across as too windy around here.

This vein on vane is mainly all in vain.

A big forest of dead trees might look nice, give it a go.
