A nice track, but it feels a bit too upbeat and happy for ambient music. The synth bass in particular doesn't seem like it sits with the rest of the mix too well. Perhaps a more mellow bass might have been a better option.
I think some pads in the background or drone tones might also help - the main instrument choice helped out a little bit, but I think more mellow instruments like pads (especially using them with drawn out drone tones) could've helped a bit more. Subtle touches and uses of certain percussion instruments, such as the triangle, could help as well. Hope this helps.

Description
An ambient track that focusses especially on the calm and slightly mysterious aspects of a secret lake. Should be in E phrygian, but it contains a mode change.
