>>193878 The bright parts on the water and the tree are washed out - too much light has caused the sensor to interpret it as pure white, and you don't have image data that accurately reflects the scene because it has been overloaded.
This can occur anywhere you have a scene with great differences in brightness between the darker and lighter parts of the scene.
If you set your exposure for the shadowed areas of the trees, the rest of the scene would be overexposed. If you set for the highlights on the water, the rest of the scene would be underexposed. If you set in between, like yours is, then you have an ok image, but there are still over and underexposed parts.
HDRI, or High Dynamic Range Imaging, is a way around some of the exposure limitations of cameras (and some of the display limitations of a screen, but less so). Basically, you would take 2 or more pictures of the same scene. Each picture would be taken with a different exposure setting that favors a different brightness present in the scene. During post processing the images are combined to produce an image that looks closer to what the human eye would have perceived there.
Most recent cameras facilitate this with AEB, or Automatic Exposure Bracketing, which allows the photographer to take 3 pictures in rapid sequence with different exposure settings.
