First of all I would like to welcome you to DPS!!!
May I also suggest you take a peek at the guidelines so you'll know what should be included or not included within your posts. Let me know if you need any help

Miander, I really love the gorgeous colors. And welcome to DPS! You have captured a gorgeous image, and one that is common to see in Japan (I grew up and lived there for over 18 years). I generally like the composition, although the way the branch cuts diagonally through the image kind of splits the image in half. Also, It's not a super big deal, but part of the sky is blown out, and if there was a way for you to bring that down I think it may enhance your already wonderful shot!

Yes, I love it too. Great colours.

Just 1 query about a comment from leviathan:

...actually I was kinda thinking this was a GOOD thing about the composition!
But I'm the first to admit, when it comes to composition I need advice and lots of it... so I'd just ask, what would you do different here?

Love the color. However, I do find the over exposed sky abit distracting.

If I were you, I would probably crop the picture to reduce the bright sky and increase the saturation of the beautiful leaves by a tiny bit to make it stand out.
