I'd hold off on the polarising filter and purchase a filter holder and a set of ND Grad filters which are a must if you're serious about landscapes. A 0.6 and 0.9 in both soft and hard grad should do the trick, get the polarising filter later.

With regards this shot, its a very pleasant image but the sky lacks drama and the tree is too far to the right, it needs to be a little to the left on the intersection of the right junction of the rule of thirds. The contrast could also do with a bit of boost!

I recommend getting hold of a copy of David Notons - 'Waiting for the Light' DVD, very inspirational and educational.

Kind regards

Wille spoke about the rule of thirds, in landscapes I like to see the horizon at either the 1/3 or 2/3's of the frame. also if you have a lot of one colour try and find the opposing colour on the colour wheel somewhere in the frame. if you have green, then try and find some red.

when you understand the rules, you will also know they are allowed to be broken, I like having the tree to the right
