    Hello,

    I think your composition coud be improved. Even though you place the rock in the centre, it doesn’t hold the eye.

    Poor depth field. Exposure problems.

    The area I’ve marked with a red rectangle is the only plane in focus.

    Depth of field is too shallow, causing most of the image to be out of focus. There’s also a bit of chromatic aberration in the tree branches.
