		| | Sky doesn't look good, everything is way oversharpened. Desperately needs colour balancing. Composition is not at all compelling. Nothing interesting in this shot to look at. |

		| | The hardest thing to do right with digital images in nature is get the leaves right.  They are so easily over sharpened, which is what I believe has happened here.  What I generally do is sharpen up to the point I like it and then back down.  Or... I'll sharpen up to where I like the image overally, and then use the history brush and reduce the sharpening anywhere that there are tiny details (leaves, ripples in the water, etc). 
 The sky, I think, you could have had the hue adjusted slighting and the   saturation pumped up a bit (gradient mask, etc).  The colors in the leaves are nice, but they too could have benefited from a little saturation.
