Good shot...poor execution. I love the composure. Nice subject...However the sun was not in your favor. The sunspot in the middle of the frame is highly distracting. You have also lost detail in the trees. I have started experimenting with an ND filter you may give it a try for a similar shot
I really like the light and subject and composition.
But I still don't like the photo a ton because of:
1) Lack of crisp sharpness
2) The blue in the shadows.
