Pretty picture....I love shooting these. You need some additional processing on the picture. The colors are lost in the foliage. Work with the contrast/lighting in post. A few simple tweaks in PS/ACR will make a huge difference in the effect

This is a good solid composition, though I agree with pixelpro that it needs some tweaking. I posted a tutorial on "Levels" the other day and if you will follow that it will fix the both the white balance and the overall tonal range.
