The light is good. The exposure seems OK, no burnt-out sky, that's the main thing here. The water looks to have been saturated, forgive the pun, so I would not have done that or at least only a very small amount.
I wonder if you would be better next time having a UV filter on your lens. These filter are slightly yellow, almost clear, and they are helpful in high mountain photography and sometimes by the sea becaus they remove some of the UV which left unfiltered can cause blue haze making the scene a bit vague, dull and short of detail. They reduce the degree of the blue haze. A little haze is good but you have too much here. It is flattening the detail in the trees and making the scene look dull. I have never used one on a digital camera but imagine they work like they do on a film camera. Go for a middle strength filter. They are available in several strengths.
Now then, as it stands your picture is a snap shot but you can fix it easily, if you want. Crop out the people and the fence. Yes, I know the balance will be effected but it will look better and more like a photograph rather than the snap we see here. You may retain the balance better if you do a little sensitive cloning of a very few trees across part of the fence so you don't have to crop so much. I'd look at cropping the sky to make the image more widescreen, too. This can really help to add a feeling of space, which this scene would suit, I think. If you do this don't be afraid to crop off the higerst left mountain peak, it might work very well, making the mountain look even bigger and allowing for a wider aspect ratio.
I have scored this as a 2, nearly a 1 but with a bit of editing it could be a 3.5. If you had used an UV filter a solid 4.
Removing the fence and people with a simple crop would do this image a lot of good.
