Critique my photo: The red forest

Don't mind the wonkiness at all, I think it suits. However I agree it does look a bit oversharpened/contrasty.

I would have chosen a larger aperture to give the picture a better sense of depth, personally.
 
Looks oversharpened. Also a CPL would have been a good idea to reduced the reflctions in the water. As it is the water is too bright. I wouldn't worry about the green leaves bottom right but I would in general crop much more of the bottom off, it disrupts some of the lines and draws too much focus to an uninteresting foreground.
 
Agree about the foreground being neither here nor there. I think a square crop of the top half of the frame would look good.
 
Thanks for the comments everyone :)

This was a quick passing photo I took when i'n the park taking photo's of my nephew and had no tripod, if you look at the original it's quite a poor photo to start with but personally I really like the composition just minus the bits at the bottom of the image that are distracting.

If the weather is ok at weekend I think I might go and have another go with my tripod to see if I can improve it :)

Here is a square crop to get rid of the bottom.
