If you want to show that it's not full autumn, try an angle in which it really shows. That's one of the best "rules" for photography: if you want to show something, show it well. Otherwise don't show it at all.

So if I were to take this photograph again, you would suggest getting down to a lower level, looking at them straight on?

It's usually best to shoot someone (and that includes animals) from eye level.

But what about sharpness…..how can I improve that when taking the photo? Or is it just a case of sharpening it in the editing software??

There are many factors that influence sharpness. You can try a smaller aperture to make the depth of field larger (but make sure you can still keep the camera still because the shutter time will be longer). You could try using a tripod to keep the camera more steady, or simply hold it better. How do you hold your camera?
