Wonderful details in the leaves of the main tree off on the left hand side of your composition. I really like the lovely natural hues of the sky blues and the grass greens on the right hand side. I don't think the gradiant shift from sepia-like tones to the natural colors of the scenery works all too well. One reason is because the shift from the natural colors to the sepia-brown tones leaves the viewer yearning for the color portion more. I find I'd much rather look at the right hand side of your composition than the lack of vibrant natural color seen on the left. The second is how well the elements play to the gradient shift. The portion of the large tree branches that would show the gradient shift well is too much in shadow to show any changes from sepia/browns to greens. Getting the right exposure such that the greens of the tree branches are vibrantly visible would assist in making the shift a bit more appealing because you will see the gradual fade more. The same thing can be said with the sky portion as that it fades from those lovely blues to a flat tone of an unassuming grey/brown. If there was some variation in the sky such as a cloud that would provide another element to show the shift it would increase the visual appeal. Lastly a change in the angle of the composition can add another aspect of visual appeal. This composition is shot straight on at level with the treeline. Composing the shot such that you take it from a lower angle (say 45 degrees or ground level) looking up will make that large tree on the left portion of your composition seem towering and majestic in height.
