Hey @Ben_van_der_Sande.

I like how the branchs of the trees flow in the same direction (left to right), and i find my eyes going with them to that right tree. I also like the constrast between the dark branchs and the leafs, maybe in a few weeks the yellows will pop and that contrast will be even more amazing.

Hope you dont mind but i post processed a bit to what i think it will work better (IMO of course) :wink:

So, I lowered the contrast and luminance of those highligths of the background, re-crop to center the atention on that “center” tree, added contrast to the whole scene as well as added a curves ajustment to pop a bit more, and removed that leaf on the LLC and the tree branch on the LRC.
Hope you like it.

Still its a lovely image of the strat of the autumn on a beatifull forest.
Thanks for sharing,
Cheers
