Hi Anna!
I quite like the atmosphere of your photo. But it suffers from some imperfections: you aimed your camera above the horizon, which is good, but it made the vertical convergent and the wall on the right seems a bit out of place here. That is a minor one.
Then the tower is cut at the top. Again, it depends on the space you had and on your lens, and perhaps there was no way to avoid it. Minor, again.
But then last time I checked, Thunersee wasn't slanted! In a landscape shot with water, it is extremely important to shoot with a straight, if not centered, horizon - or, in the worst-case scenario, to correct it in PP. It is one "click and drag" of the mouse in Elements from version 4 and above... Of course, there are cases when it is an assumed effect one wants to give one's image, but then it is usually more pronounced than here, where it appears as a (big major) flaw.
thanks for sharing! And sorry for being a bit hard, it is a lovely place!
