I like the composition, the colour (specially the reflection
on the water of the sky), and the depth of field. It conveys a
remoteness and desolation without a human presence.

A focal point is missing in this one. Just feel like I need to see to the right of the frame.

probably not the aim right?

Imo there is nothing there which draws teh viewers eye in, when I first looked at it, I thought it would be good to see whats off to the right of the image. The colours also look a little over saturated at this end.

do you have any other crops or frames from this scene?

No amount of processing will fix bad composition - trust me i have tried.

Technically spot on as always,
all the horizontal leading lines make me want to see more of the scene , a little more to the right with a bigger shot in landscape orientation but without cropping either top or bottom. I like the idea of poitrait orientated landscapes.
The reflections are just beautiful and are strong enough to support the photo on their own with an landscape crop making the pool the main focus shot.
