What would you do with this image?

I would crop out the reflection at the bottom. It distracts the eye away from the real action of the picture.

The color is unnatural. Re-balance it so it isn't so brown, but more red/yellow, as a sunset should be. There's no sin in having to change color balance. I used to do it all the time when I printed color, and I do it now with digital.
 
Seriously. This is close to right off the card. I did a little tweaking, but I can't decide about the crop or whether to play with the colors or whether I should just trash it.

No hard feelings, either, or I wouldn't have come here asking for comments.
Thanks, JB. I am asking here because I've looked at it enough that it's hard to divorce myself from it.
And if anyone knows why the image I posted is not as orange as the one I see as I look at the SAME file in Photoshop, I'd like to hear your ideas. It really can't stand any intensifying of the orange in my original file. I am disappointed that it did not "translate" very accurately to Flickr. I placed it in a Yahoo! library and it matches the Flickr image there pretty much exactly. It looks washed out compared to what I see here.
