very good perpsective for composition. Something about the colors doesnt seem right to me. It might be that i just dont like orange and purple... but whatever... i think the photo needs just a little sharpening but overall nice photo and good job!

this is personal taste but i dont like the toning... i would have preferred something a bit more desaturated. I think the photo could have used a bit more of unsharp mask

since you asked for contructive (read - you know what) comments...

the soft focus effect doesnt really work here. First the effect isnt properly executed and rather than a "mystic" glow you have an OOF image, plus the overexposed top right corner isnt helping either.

However the bigger problem, at least imo, is that the picture is plain boring. A few trees and a outdoor resting place thingy (forgot what its called) shot straight on. Even the best filter in the world couldnt rescue the lacking artistic value of this shot. You should have tried various angles, maybe further back to make this more of a landscape or closer to the ground to give a different viewpoint with blades of green grass in sharp focus in the foreground, maybe having the house frame the trees or having a reflection if there was a stream behind the house.

My suggestion would be to browse some articles online dealing with composition, color theory and light. Two good starting points are //www.photozone.de/4Technique/compose/third.htm and //www.photoinf.com/
Best of luck

decent image, imo its hard to get a breathtaking image with the subject matter you choose, but you did a good job.
