This was taken on an AT secion hike in 2002 and it was the first season where I started taking lots of shots and trying to improve my photography.
It certainly follows the rule of thirds (which rule was quite unknown to me at the time). You might want to have that little hut in focus and you might say the sharp focus of the framing branches is distracting. But I think the soft obscure look of the background framed by those branches is what gives this shot its charm. The fuzzy reflection in the pond doesn't hurt either. Try the full size image, it lets you see a bit more of what's going on over by that hut.
