I don't really like the crop too much. Maybe if the brances on the right were cropped out...

Comment by Imagineer:
This image suffers from a lack of focal point. We're too distant from your subject. Getting much closer and picking out a detail would give the viewer something to find rather than scanning your whole scene for a fragment of interest. You have some good lighting here so it's a shame not to make use of it.

You could try:
> shooting into the sun through a leaf
> creating negative space from leaf and branch shapes
> finding intense light/shadow in texture on leaves
> shooting at an extreme angle either from base of trunk/branch or looking down from above
> try creating exaggerated bokeh by using your zoom and focusing on a small aspect of subject

Sadly, you will get hammered in the voting but put it down to experience and move on. I have given this a 3 because of the above points and the overexposure in the sky.

Definitely fits the challenge. Background is nicely out of focus. Overall the image seems a bit uninteresting.
