Kris: I think I'm more partial to the square original image. There's more colour in the sky (I like the gradation to the melon colour at the top) and I like the dark contrast at the bottom.
But that's just me. I'd like to know what other people think . . . ;-)

I do not have very much 'photographic' experience with this problem, but here are my 2 cents from a physicists point of view...
The trees get washed out because of the combination of large contrast and limited resolution. So if a very light part starts overlapping an adjacent dark part, it will be bleached out. If there would be no overlap (i.e., infinitely high resolution, which is not posssible), this problem would not occur.
So you can either reduce the contrast or increase the resolution (sharpness). You can reduce the contrast by underexposing, or better, by using a graduated neutral density filter, to keep the contrast in the water. You can increase sharpness by using a tripod, and using the optimal aperture for your lens. About the film: I do not know if the film resolution is important because usually the resolution of the optics is more limiting. But maybe it helps to use a film with a high contrast range (so in general negative film should be better than slide film for this purpose). Hope this is of any help to you and good luck :)

Thank you everyone for the comments!
Becky here is an attached copy of the original image. I wasnt sure if I should leave the picture as is, or crop it. I think the picture suits the crop I chose, it's fun working 6x6, but looking at the picture again there is lots of detail in the water on the bottom edge of the photo. I may donate this piece to a small art auction soon, and finding the proper crop for printing would be great!
Thanks for any input guys and gals!
Kris

Though I have yet to get one for my camera (curse my limited finances!), I suspect a neutral density filter will tone down your bright skies, allowing you an exposure that will bring out some detail in the trees.
As for the photo itself, it's quite vivid and the colours are eye-catching. I think I'd like to see more sky or more water - preferably more water as it has more detail and texture than the sky. It would also be nice to see the addition of another subject; sometimes waiting for a flying bird or a meandering cloud is really worth it. Granted, one's arms can get quite tired waiting for nature to cooperate!

Fixing the trees I suspect requires you to have taken this shot from a non moving surface with a tripod. You don't have your exposure settings here, but I bet the shutter speed was a bit long... I have a shot of a sunset at a pier where I took it handheld and while most everything looks great, the tree leaves are blurred from both my movement and theirs. Hope this helps!
