You've actually composed this well, but you've missed some key considerations that would elevate your 'snapshot' away from the ordinary.
Firstly, due to this being a challenge about a naturalist/photographer, it's important to feature a subject that shows some unusual features or at least some normal features shown in an unusual way. Here, you are too far away to achieve much detail and the weather and lighting is flat and dull. Therefore it would be better to get much closer and show some textures and form rather than a conventional landscape that most people can see from their car window. The base of that tree looks quite interesting so I'd have run into that field and got a close, ground-level view looking up at its branches, with a long depth of field. Ideally, you would need a tripod and a longish exposure so that you can get everything in focus.
Additionally the focus is quite soft so it'll be voted low as a result. Sorry, but I hope I've helped in some way for your future challenges.
Cheers

| To me, this is not sharp enough and the sky looks a little too flat. |

| Has some oldish feeling. The sky seems totaly burned out and the forground lacks more tonal differnece for the image to be realy interesting. |

It's a "pity" that there aren't clouds in the sky for more grey tones because this zone of your photo is quite monochrome , too bright.
Nice tree ! |

| Nice greys but not really in the Adams style which cover the full range of tones to solid black that usually occupies a significant part of the frame. Very soft focused. |
