A nice nature compositionby

This is a lovely image, the colors of the grass and trees are very nice. The sky seems a bit blown out, could use a touch of adjustment to really bring out the blue which in turn would bring out the green even more.
I'm looking at your final score and guessing the reason for this is people, from looking at the winners, were looking for a more definitive branch, not a bunch together and you can't see many individual branches. Also the focus seems just a bit soft. Perhaps if you had gone for just the upper branches of some of the trees against the blue sky, cutting out all the bushes on the bottom it might have done better.
Also the composition, you are all filled in on the right for a frame but have a hole on the left and the top. The top would be okay if you have the left filled in, bringing you in and around the picture then back out the other side is my thought process here.
Oh and I see this is your first submission! Well congratulations on taking the plunge, it's really a nice shot overall, just a few tweeks here and there and it can be an awesome shot.
