Anecdote
One of my favorite photographs taken in the last year or so...From a morning I'll never forget! Northern British Columbia's Great Bear Rainforest - filled with rain, mist and many great bears. Took this shot from a moving zodiac just as rain was letting up as this female grizzly took her 3 cubs for a swim in the estuary.
Translation from Babelfish (anyone is invited to improve upon this translation...please!):[edit: hope I improved it :)]
Un matin que je n'oublierai jamais ! La forêt pluviale du grand ours du nord de la Colombie britannique - pleine de pluie, de brume et de beaucoup de grands ours.
J'ai pris cette photo depuis un Zodiac alors que la pluie se calmait, tandis que cette femelle grizzly entraînait ses 3 petits pour un bain dans l'estuaire.
Lots more detail about this specific image (field notes, camera and shooting details, processing details) can be found at the following page on my website:

Looking forward to some feedback - thanks in advance...

Thanks for your comments. I translated your comments but I'm not sure I fully understand your last sentence (the horizontal placement of the bears). This was a tough decision - normally I don't believe in placing my subjects dead centre, but in this case the reflection was so powerful I decided to go with the strong and obvious symmetry driven by the reflection of the tree (rather than positioning the bears higher or lower in the frame).
Cheers...

As a matter of fact, Christophe meant that bears were at the correct place in your picture, even if one says the subject must not be right in the middle
Ah yes...those old "compositional rules". Aren't rules meant to be broken? I consider them guidelines, at best!
Cheers...
