For me the problem was more the washed out mountains and sky in the background. Maybe if you had brought out the texture, sharpness, and some color along with the village and tempered down on the leaves it would have helped.
i don't like the green leaves of the foreground, they remind of banal black walnut trees. but maybe they serve as a foil to the beautiful town in the distance. still, they dominate too much. maybe if the color were less saturated.
