Nice view and reflections, but it seems a bit underexposed. It could do with lifting the shadows.

Lovely. I agree to bringing up shadows a touch.

Interesting, and you do tend to post somewhat darker images, so that's ok too. :)
(Go easy on the lifting if you do decide to reprocess. Maybe 5% brighter foliage and 10-15% brighter building structure).

I'd think a slightly more decentered composition for the focal subject would have worked better. Try lowering the building in the image (by cropping, ofc).

Abhishek, I too feel image is bit darker. Curiously I converted it to sRGB, the narrowest gamut screen attached. You will notice around maybe 20% dynamic range is not utilised. 

So you have some room to revitalise this image. If shot is in raw you have more headroom to adjust.

That said, this place is beautiful and shot equally well.
