A 'Darling' sunrise

The Darling River, about 50k north of Wilcannia. We camped overnight at a camp area called the Horse and Carriage, said to be a mail & goods transit stopover along the Darling track between Bourke & Wilcannia in the 1800's. A very remote but beautiful and peaceful spot to camp.
I struggled to expose the foreground without blowing out the sky and think I could have done a little better capturing the moment when I was the only one not still tucked up in a warm tent.
1.3 secs. F22 ISO 100 @ 28mm

Cracker of a reflection and the sky colours are great. Can you do anything with the trees as the dark areas are a little too dark and uninteresting for such a vibrant sky.

No Ian. I'm afraid it was underexposed too much and a poor decision not to bracket for layering. I could kick myself.
The shot below is in the opposite direction 5 mins later with a 22 sec exposure.
