Nice light and comp. The clouds carry the scene quite nicely for this shot.
Iphones have come a long way. I would never dare use my old flip phone for photography. I don't even know how to download one if I did.

I can import directly into Lightroom from my iPhone using the import menu as if it were a camera memory card. Old flip phones didn't have cameras that are a match for what the current generation of phone cameras can do. I used to carry point and shoot digital cameras but as of the iPhone 6 the image quality has gone to a level that completely blew away what I was getting from a Canon G9. And best of all it's always in my pocket.

Maybe too dark?

Leslie, I turned down the brightness to handle the clouds and water reflexion, and liked how it turned the shadows totally black (also hiding the houses on the other side of the lake). The dark areas act as a frame for the cloud/reflection main event. Coming from years of shooting contrasty slide film I still like the "shoot for the highlights and let the shadows go" look in many cases.
