I like the warm colors you used to shade this and for some of the bushes. It gave this a lot softer feeling, especially against the blue of the water, then with the green splashes of color, that was good. Everything in this is very very soft, very romantic.
I've been looking at tutorials on color theory lately, if you're interested in any.

I'm currently fixated on these turtle tutorials I found on DA.

The only thing I would say that I noticed, now that I'm looking at it again and I realize I didn't pick up when I first looked was direction. My eye kind of wanders instead of being led from one way to another. You add depth via the lack of saturation towards the top and then more solid colors towards the bottom, but it doesn't seem like a pretty drastic, dynamic difference compared to what you've done in some of your pieces. I tend to like when you take bigger risks.
All of this isn't to say that I don't enjoy your work, though.
