Ignoring the rule of thirds, a very conventional 50/50 split with this, but sometimes it works if you want to include reflections in water. A cold autumn morning when the sun was very low but thankfully no wind.

Great photo you have here !!
Its a very nice tranquil scene. I like the reflections. Having the vertical 50/50 doesnt bother me, - would suggest though not having the house also central, - but its nice still.
A little underexposed when I download it and can also benefit with a touch more contrast. I noticed the -2/3, so you anticipated blown highlights, and look like you could have done well without any exposure comp. Always look at the histogram view in the LCD after a shot, - you can tell right away if the exposure comp is needed or not and take another shot.
Ive uploaded a mod to show what I mean, and also sharpened a little. The trees closer to the camera are no as sharp as object further away, so for f/22, make sure you are focusing 1/3 the distance into the shot, and not at the furthest point.

Thanks for all your comments. It proved rather challenging with the sun very low in the sky. Yes a tad underexposed I agree but many of my landscape shots of mine are this way because I think you retain more colour depth, and you can always lighten in post processing. As far as the -2/3 is concerned I bracketed 3 shots 2/3 stop apart and I liked this most. The sharpening I agree needed a little more. It was only after posting I realised I had not checked the "sharpen for screen" option in Lightroom when exporting to JPEG. I also used the hyperfocal technique of which I am a fan and manually focussed at approx 10ft as I remember. Having said all that I do like your mod better than my original. Damn!
