looks good to me, verry good complementary colors sky is interesting, tree is verry well off center to have a good impact, I think it's a great shot. (IMHO)
I like the exposure and the dappled light very much, and the contrast of the deep blue of the sky and the tawny brown grass is wonderful.
For what it is worth, here is my hopefully constructive criticism:
I am left with a question of what the picture is about.
There is a long perspective available - the marsh - but it is blocked by all the foreground branches. The angles,composition, and DOF of the shot also are not such as to maximize the drama of the marsh.
By the same token, the picture is not really about the trees, either, as we are too close to see them as a whole form. Rather, they are truncated in order to show the marsh.
The shot seems a hybrid of foreground and background objects, which, to my eye, compete for the eye and the 3-D space.
My eye wants to appreciate the long view to the back of the marsh, and a simplification of the visual elements.
On the other hand, everything I mentioned is pretty subjective!! :)

And I was thinking about how it would have looked like in a photo.
