It works now :)

first thing i noticed is that lens flare, personally i'd take that from the image, it detracts from it, in my opionion that is. If you like it, leave it :)

secondly around the shore line, usually you'd have some sand, even if just a few feet of it, maybe you could trying adding a little bit of shoreline, to seperate the grass from the water.

Also i think that the house (?) could use some red/ orange'ish lighting on the roof and side, i think this would really tie it into the image a little more, same for high lights on the trees, just a little bit though.

Keep up the good work :)
