eerie and beautiful.  Really, really enjoy the form and texture of the lake (?) in the foreground.  It 'makes' the picture, leading your eye through it.

FWIW, I like the byplay of the angles.  I'm drawn in to the picture.  Exposure looks good.  The trees are almost distracting to me, seems like with them and the house in the background there's too much going on.

Photoshop Elements could get rid of the cars in the background.

Lens hood would address the sun flare, unless that's intentional.

Note - I'm not an expert by any means, just an enthusiastic amateur.  Your shot is nice, just has some distractions.

Very nice juxtaposition of colours.  The woodstock seems to be a bit soft, maybe some artifacts around the trailing foot?  Might just be my monitor.

feels beautifully cold, appropriate for this time of year.  Nicely sharpened.
