Gorgeous picture of a beautiful area - perhaps just a bit on the magenta side as the dried foliage is also magenta in the picture as posted. Just an FYI, everything in the picture is essentially at infinity (reflections are at the distance of the object, not the surface of the water, so f/14 really wasn't necessary and an aperture that robs less sharpness from the scene like f/8 would work very well and allow you to use a bit faster shutter speed.

A beautiful scene, nice reflection.
Yes, taking out a bit of the magenta would boost this...easy fix.

Thank you all for the tips and encouragement. Here is the toned down version. I dropped the magenta 20%. Did I go far enough?

It isn't so much that the Magenta should be reduced in saturation but rather that the photo has a Magenta color cast which could be taken care of by moving the tint slider towards the green side just a tiny bit.

Ok. Thanks for clarifying that for me, E.J. I dropped the slider toward green -8. Enough?
