This is an amazing photograph. It is impressive not only for of the subject matter, water being both precious and rare in the desert, but for the composition. It gives the impression of a garden having been deliberately planned and planted around an artificial pond.
I wonder what time of day you took this photo. The light is neither too strong nor too low, and the colors balance nicely. The sand is of varying shades of red, and there is more than one shade of green in the vegetation. The little pond mirrors all the colors, including the blue gradient of the sky.
As someone already mentioned, the logo in the lower right corner is bright enough to be distracting, and directly above the camera in the logo, on the crest of the hill in the middle ground, something that could be either a human figure or a dead tree persists in catching my eye. Also, I just now noticed something like a long stick poking up out of the water and making a V where it meets its own reflection, right next to the logo. These are the only flaws in this nearly perfect photograph of a simple pool of water in the desert.
The whole image reminds me of an Ansel Adams quote which you may already know, "A good photograph is knowing where to stand."
