Hi Meta, You have the right idea, including the tree trunk as part of the frame rather than just a swatch of leaves, but the image as a whole is not that interesting: the power lines are a distraction, the horizon is pretty close to half rather than on a third, and I’m not quite sure what the subject is.

On cloudy days it’s better to avoid gray sky and to shoot closer, more intimate scenes (such as close-ups of flowers along the path) rather than big landscapes. For a big scene like this it would be better to try on a sunny day; sunlight on the trees would bring out their red color better too. #797206
