You've done just about as well as you could under those rather flat and dull conditions Willow. It's difficult to prevent the sky and highlights being over exposed while preserving details in the shadows. Your compostion is good with the dead trees forming the right side of frame and adding interest. In fact I'd be tempted to crop about half the foreground, perhaps as far as the white reflections go as it would focus more attention on the trees. The shape of the lake makes it look like you've got a slight list to the right so rotating the image one or two degress ccw might help.
Hope you are enjoyig your new Canon and that you get some nice bright days soon to get out and about with it. It's very similar to my Canon.

 

thankyou both for your nice comments. yes the day was rather dull and it was the first time i'd used my canon. i will take your comments into my (now jotting book). since i took that photo i have had 3 of my photos on itv and bbc local weather reports and that pleased me very much lol.
thanks again.:gnthb:
