Drive past this pond daily

As for the technical advice, I'm not the best person to ask. However I can say that If the water was more calm, it would have given a better reflection. of course, can't expect you to stop the wind!

As for the shot itself, I like it. It's quite easy to look at and uncluttered. However, and this is just my opinion, Taken from a slightly lower vantage point to accentuate the forground may have added more to the shot. like an out of place tuft of grass or something...

Otherwise very nice :)
 
The things you notice about the shot need fixing at the scene when taking the picture not with software afterwards.

A ND grad filter would bring the pond out more by darkening the sky and changing the balance of the shot a bit. Small aperture like f13 f16 will get you more depth of field so the foreground and subject will be sharp.
And as woody says getting lower (and possibly closer to the water) would give you more reflection and a better foreground.

Still not a bad shot as it is :)
