This shot has great colours but I think falls short of its potential for two reasons:

1. The obvious focal point, the sun, seems haphazardly positioned in the frame. Something like the "rule of thirds" might seem to obvious but could give the image a greater sense of harmony.

2. The silhouetted leaves underneath the sun have come out well but there is something else obscuring the leftmost quarter of the image which was obviously nearer and has ended up fuzzy. It would be improved without that although I am not sure that there is enough other information in the picture to make it worth trying to rescue.
