I really like the way the dappled light plays across the greens in the leaves of the branches. The play of light and shadows is really wonderful in this capture, but it lacks a strong main focal point or element. Yes there is the branch with the lovely green leaves on the right half of the composition BUT the there is just too large a quantity to really single one or a few of them out to take the spotlight. In addition, they are not in sharp focus for the viewer to appreciate the fine details found in the leaves. I really like how you show us the play of light on these leaves and I think by moving in and focusing on two, three or even four to show us how the light plays upon them would strengthen the composition tremendously. Not only would you give the eye a main focal point to focus on but you would also show us all the lovely textures and veins of the leaves playing in the sunlight. You could even use bokeh to great effect with the tree leaves/trees blurred in the background to serve as a natural backdrop to your main subject focal element.
