I really like this but my eyes wander around it looking for a focal point. They come to rest on the light patch and it's reflection which I guess is the focal point. A little more saturation along it's length would probably mean that my eyes wouldn't wander so much and would be attracted to it right away and then take in the rest of the scene. Well done however!

Stamper has a point, but even so, it's an impressive image; lots and lots of mystery.

Maybe you could try his advice and see what it brings to the feeling.

Very dreamy and beautiful.
Usually I have problems with too many twigs as they cause chaos and distraction,
but this is not the case here, maybe due to the symmetry and the subdued color.
I believe playing with the postprocessing could maybe enhance the impression the image already has.
E.G. a blurred overlay with a blending ramp, such that it affects shadows more than lights or vice versa (In PS Layer options).
I also believe a b/w conversion might work.
Very nice image which proves again that things that usually don't work may work very good under certain circumstances.
