OK, you asked for it.
This shot really is nothing special. It's generic, and actually looks cliche. That particular angle has been used quite a bit, and the plane is a little too far away, and for a military aircraft, there is nothing exciting going on in this photo.
Your too high, descend.
There are clouds in the background, but none in the foreground. This makes the shot look rather 2 dimensional, and takes away from the excitement in the photo.
Quality control is good, no problems with jaggies or compression.
You are too far away from the scenery, in fact, there is hardly any at all. Good mountains make good shots and add a third dimension to the picture, and you can never run out of good mountains. Flat plains are never looked that great.
That's all I can find.
Hope this helps. Remember:
Fly in the scenery, not above it.
Fly inside the clouds, or close to them.
Find an angle that shows off both the plane and the scenery.
Have the plane doing something exciting.
These are the keys to making any shot look good. I look foward to seeing your future endeavours.

What he said.
Overall with the correct things this shot can be very good.

It's a nice scene, but JR's points are very valid. For me, the plane is too small. If it were nice and big, and looked good, then it wouldn't matter so much about the scenery. Don't be afraid of shooting pics over flat land - but the textures had better be good - and water helps, as you've used. The basic rule of thirds from photography might help - half land, half sky doesn't look so good - having 1 third land and 2 thirds sky is better, or the opposite, depending on what looks better....
If you're bored of an evening - and you'll have to be - you can check out my screenshot gallery: Kriglsflightsimscreens

Jet Ranger, thats a great evaluation!
Not much more to add except this..
Notice the vertical lines through the water. As you probably know, these lines appear, dis-appear continually as the water effect works. If you take a few shots trying to time the shot when these lines aren't visible, it'll make for much better looking water.

I don't think you have to "fly in the scenery" or "fly close to the clouds". The picture has some very nice features. The thing that really puts it down is the composition. As Krigl already mentioned it's better to not have the horizon right in the middle of the picture. So, you should crop a part off and looking at the pic, imho it's best to cut off the green at the bottom. It isn't very interesting. What you have left after cropping is actually a pretty nice background. A city surrounded by some interesting water and some nice louds in the distance. The next problem is the size and position of the plane. It's too small and it's right on the horizon. I think, in this case, it's best to move it up a bit. You could also try experimenting with moving it a bit to the right or left, whatever looks good to you. Hope this helps...
