I find it a pity (disturbing) that the palm tree covers exactly the pole of the palmleaf-umbrella. It could have been avoided taking the picture from three steps to the side.
It would be interesting to hear a professional comment on that, because I am not clear myself why for this reason I find that this picture lacks harmony.

Hummmmmmmmmmm, interesting comments. I felt a little 'bothered' when I first looked at it, but I thought it may have been the diffuser. I personally like clarity, but it looks sortof like a dream, which is perhaps the effect you were going for. As far as the umbrella, how about editing the pic and making it look like the umbrella is part of the tree which would provide shade to the hammock. That would fix Margreet's 'disturbed' feeling. ;o)
