That time of year thou mayst in me behold
When yellow leaves, or none, or few, do hang
Upon these boughs which shake against the cold,
Bare ruin'd choirs, where late the sweet birds sang.
-- William Shakespeare, from Sonnet LXXIII

The background is very busy if the focus is to be on the few yellow leaves hanging on a mostly barren tree. If this were taken later in the afternoon, nearer twilight, the background might be less compelling. Another way would be to reduce the depth of field, with a wider aperture or longer lens. A 7.
I think this is a rather mundane shot. there is nothing that particularly draws me in and the colors are rather bland. a willow, though attractive from afar, is a fairly cluttered subject up close.
