Maybe a bit less sky and less river at the front.

Although 1/15@f-16 W/Pol. seems to be a correct exposure (a sunny-16 equivalent + 2 stops), however, the way the sky and the tone of the leaves indicate, the image is overexposed by at least 1 stop. It could be a camera problem or the way the film was developed or scanned. Also the image is too plain and does not have a single strong compositional element that could engage the viewer. Better luck next time. Bahman.

I'd agree with Bahman. I think this is a case of trying to get too much into the picture instead of concentrating on the essential elements. A closer picture of the orange-red tree and the water might have been better.
