I like the color of the sky and I think the branch at the bottom is sharp. But you should avoid a dark background (the mountains) because I think it distract to much from the silhouette. And I think it would be better if the silhoutte would be a bit bigger. Perhaps you could use a aperture around 10 so that the whole branch is sharp.

I find the soft focus of the mountains very distracting in this image.
