I missed this earlier- glad I came back.
This image is unusual and yet it works exceptionally well.
Dark negative space can have great appeal and you've managed it here.
I also would remove the bright spot on the tree and its reflection.

Dear all,
Thanks so much for your feedback! Very encouraging. Glad you enjoy the image.
I'll remove the bright spot (which represents the - small - star trail of planet Venus) - you're right / agree, thanks for the recommendation.
Gustavo: I did not try a pano crop so far - will think about it! Thx much.
Cheers
Volker
