Yes, Phil, a very peaceful and pleasing scene. A more interesting foreground would make for a stronger overall composition, in my view. I`m thinking along the lines of some wet rocks, the type of which we often see in shots of Dunstanburgh Castle. Might also rotate the picture half a degree clockwise; I keep thinking the moon is going to fall out of the frame to the left.
Looks like a wonderful place to live!
What a fantastic place to live-you must have to pinch yourself everytime you look out of the window,I would be inclined to crop from the bottom taking out the first mound-A lovely scene
A similar scene to what's outside my front door.....and I don't like the sea! (More a mountain man, but finding houses in mountains is not too easy)
As has been pointed out, not enough foreground interest to have this in vertical format. Looks like it's screaming out for landscape orientation and also, as Jeremy says, it needs a c/w tilt to straighten everything up.
What an absolutely stunning view you have from your property .
I find moonscapes very appealing so this one certainly appeals to me.
I think your chosen composition works and the ample space within the frame really heightens the feeling of tranquility and solitude.
However I think cropping the scene to just below the nearest rock would also work very well,possibly making the composition even better.This would create a very effective curve IMHO,leading the eye through the scene from the bottom left corner and right the way round to the moon.
I have looked at this a few times before commenting. I like the idea but doesn't just quite work for me. I find the lower part of the frame too empty and distracts from the key feature of this scene which is the moon and the pastel shades of blue in the sky and water in the upper part of the frame. If I crop some of the lower part of the image off I think the image is stronger.
Maybe this would work as a panoramic or more landscape orientated shot, or find a vantage point with an interesting foreground. A nice wooden jetty or wooden sail or rowing boat would be ideal. Something to add interest to the foreground and give a bit more structure to the image.
But I see what you are after here, a tranquil scene, very atmospheric.
Maybe I will take a photo from my front door and post that too, I think my suburban landscape might not quite match the superb views from your cottage.

Bet you don't get a scene like this at 11 tonight

Like it a lot.
You must have the best view in the country, another fine image.
