excellent color, but that's about all it's got going for it. i think a strong vertical composition with the birds in the lower third and zoomed in a bit would be an excellent shot with a big colorful punch.
I see a lot of digital noise in the clouds. With the exception of that, this is a lovely landscape. I don't think the photo would suffer if the shaded area of the foreground were cropped mostly out. The birds along the edges of the taller grasses is a really nice touch.
Even with the birds, I feel this photo lacks a real focal point. It does have nice contrast and colour though. I think it seems a bit soft too, so maybe a slight application of USM could help?
