I like your composition; it would be nice to add just a slight more on the left to avoid clipping the main tree's canopy.  Two things I'd consider in processing:  1) a bit more contrast, and 2) it may have a slightly bluish tint (seen especially in the tree trunk), which could be easily addressed by pulling down the blue channel in curves.

Stephen. I agree with most of what you suggested. I am on laptop and perhaps a bit too blue. I have to go back and see if i did crop the left side.  I purposefully kept contrast down but maybe a bit more would be ok thanks for the comments

Hi Mark: A beautiful landscape that can be made better by following Stephen's suggestions. Yes, cutting down the blue tinge will significantly improve the quality. Please reload after incorporating the corrections. All the best. Regards, Ajay.

Mark, if you do make any adjustments that you like, I suggest that you include both versions in the same post so that viewers can easily see a before-and-after.  That makes for a better learning experience for everyone.

 

I've tried an increase in contrast, reduced blue, and a very slight increase in red (which is a standard workflow for many of my own images) on this photo, and I liked the result.  However, all of these manipulations come down to personal preferences and what you or a viewer sees in a particular photo.
