wonderful image Zhang, i like the band of fog/cloud hanging above the water and the superb reflection.  Very serene and peaceful scenery. The foreground drift wood got me a bit confused as it seemed to merge with the reflection. A slightly lower (or higher) POV may have helped isolate this element from the background a bit more.  Maybe some dodging to bring out the textures and colors into the driftwood would help also.  Regards - michel

In my opinion, the perfect use of HDR. Slightly surrealistic, but not too much. It's more like how you remember a beautiful place a little better than they actually were.

I think you could work on your greens & blues. The greens are a little too plastic, which is often trouble with the yellow levels. It's very common for HDR software to have trouble with plants. You might also consider toning down the blue/cyan just a bit.

Overall, great shot.

I also agree with Michel. I do find the driftwood a little distracting but overall excellent use of HDR. Well balanced photo for me.
