The photographer is looking for generalized feedback about the aesthetic and technical qualities of their image.
Description
This image reflects my fascination of trouts and graylings stationed in the shallow water just upstream the neck of any fast-flowing river, where they feed on insects floating on the surface. The ripples on the lower half of the image indicate the neck of the river, and the flat water just upstream is where the fish like to feed. You may be able to detect faint rings on the surface upstream of the neck and in the middle of the image, which are produced by a feeding trout.
Specific Feedback
All comments are welcome, especially comments regarding cropping, color management and rendering of the colors on surface of the water, where I have my doubts.

This looks like a wonderful sunny day to go fishing Leo. This looks like a really nice river to fish too. The reflection of the mountain and cloudy sky are also really nice. Wonderful image to see, and ponder, and then to imagine myself there.
Beautiful scene, very inviting - I’m longing to be there!
Sweet colours and perspective.
I think a very small crop off the bottom might improve this, - personally - that small string of dark cloud just over the right peak - and reflecting into the water - is a bit distracting, as there are no other cloud bits this dark.
Fine image!
Leo what I like most of this fine image are the ripples in the foreground. The landscape is very large and I think that the ripples can be more evident cutting a part of the sky. For showing what I mean I have re-worked a bit your image hoping that you don’t care. Passing I have cloned a patch of snow on the top of the mountain because it casts a too high reflection for my eyes. A very serene atmosphere!
