Gentle and quite peaceful! I think your score may have been hurt by a lack of clear subject (yeah, I know, this doesn't really have or need one, but there you go) and a bit of a "halved" composition. You've got a couple of elements I really like in the shot - the curved upper branch, the sun peeking through, the curve of the wall/bushes. I'm just not sure I like how they're all arranged with respect to each other if that makes sense, though I don't know how else to arrange them - aren't I helpful?

Pretty decent, but nothing is really reaching out and grabbing me. I can't really nail what it is or is not, however.
