There is nothing "wrong" with your image. Technically it's fine. But it is generic. There is no specific "subject." I'd call it a calendar shot. Unless someone has a specific need for a quiet pond, I don't see it selling really well.
But it is nice.

As CaptLarry says, what is the subject? I would add, where is the light?
While the clouds have nice light, there is no light on the water, and thus as a landscape photo, does not have much to say to the viewer.
I think this is a place that you should visit regularly and shoot it when the light is spectacular in the sky and on the water to make a great landscape photo. Other types of images can be made here also, like macros of various species. It is a nice spot. Just keep in mind the subject and the light.
