Critique of the Elephant Photo

Elephant-Frans-Lanting-2-1.jpg

Personally, I really enjoy this picture as I'm sure a lot of other people do. I particularly enjoy the mirror image/ reflection that is going onto the photo because it gives it like an alternate reality type of feeling almost. I assume that maybe this photo was edited slightly to get the darker color on the borders of the photo, but either way I think the color and composition is really nice. 

There isn't really much texture or anything going on, but it's kind of crazy how that water was so incredibly smooth. 

The trees in the background give the photo more layer which I think complements the photo a bunch and one thing I notice is how the moon in the water is brighter seeming than it is in the sky. 

This isn't so much a criticism  thing, but I wondering what it would look like if any editing was taken off. For example, maybe the grass would be greener or the water and sky would be more blue.
