I'm afraid I'm with Roger and and Sarah Jane. Not one of your more interesting scenics, Fliss. No focus, nothing particularly grabs your eye, it's a pretty-pretty-so-what shot.
Cropping about 20-25% of the bottom of the photo, and maybe 30-35% of the right side - getting rid of the two trees on the right and a good deal of the ground might help - the larger tree on the left becomes more prominent and there may be a bit of looming going on. I also like Roger's suggestions - whitening the swans, and possibly going to black-and-white might help.
But I'm afraid the most impressive thing in the thread was Jason's wedding. You can't get more New York than that. Way to go, guy!
