Hello from the Critique Club!
It looks like you have inspirational scenery. Very attrractive place, and sky.
The image looks (to me) to be quite dark (though this monitor is not well calibrated). Part of the reason (I think) is because you are shooting into the light (it looks as though the sun is breaking through those clouds). There is a slightly silhouetted feel to the foreground. A powerful flash helps with some fill in light, but is often a limited solution.
The image also looks as though it has been pushed moderately hard in post processing, and has just started to lose its natural look.
As has been commented upon, your chosen Depth of Field does not isolate the subject, but leaves it to compete with the stunning scenery in the background. Reducing the Av would centre attention on the branch.
The composition is quite central, though in a square image I find this to be less critical than in a landscape or portrait image. I am unsure about the framing you have used with the branch. I try and include a frame if I think that it fits the subject matter at hand. Here, the branch would frame well the background, but I don't think that it adds anything to the branch that should be your subject.
Good luck with the next challenge!

| Love how the peak of the mountain is right between the branches on the left. Might look a little better if the colors were a little brighter (IMHO) but still think this is a great shot. |
