Pre-dawn Shot of the lakes

Your valuable critique of this photo will be highly appreciated. Thank you for taking your

Well, it's obviously highly processed (lots of noise ?) and hand-holding 1/10 didn't work so well. On the other hand, it seems to be an amazing location and I would have tried to capture it as well. The obvious solution might have been a tripod and a much longer exposure time at lower ISO to eliminate the camera shake and noise. Without a tripod I might have looked for a big rock to brace myself against. Another solution might have been to take a dozen images and hope that one works. Finally, I might have tried to take a lot of underexposed images (so the shutter speed is higher) and stack them in Photoshop to eliminate the noise.

I mention all these options, because I've been in similar locations where I really wanted a picture but didn't have the obvious tools available. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't.
