The problem here is, that although you may have intended to have a soft focus, you have ended up having a rather blurred out-of-focus image. The f-stop is too wide, bearing in mind you have a long focal length. The DOF is very shallow. The pine needles need to be sharper. This is a problem! Also, I think the image is a bit too green.
Primarily, the depth of field is too shallow. All the branches in the foreground should be sharp. Also, are the lens flares natural or did you add them with a filter? You should not use filters on your submitted images.
