This is advanced edited, unless that is an UFO at the top, I would have cloned it out :)

I like the angle of this but there are a few things off imho. The trees on either side are distracting and lead you out if the photograph. I'd have walked forward to remove them from the shot. The focus seems a little off, maybe camera shake? If you don't have a tripod you could try to find something to rest the camera on to steady it, maybe even resting the end of the camera on the ground.

a little blurry and a little too central...perhaps walk a little closer and try some more interesting compositions
