Welcome Simona I like the composition. IMO the top part of the image is very dark and it doesn't match with the sunny FG with long shadows of trees. I would brigthen that part a bit.

I'm with Binnur here, the upper treatment is too dark and also blends a little too sharply especially on the right side.

Hi and welcome Simona. Maybe a little dark but still a colorful image.

Interesting capture the spectrum of the shades/ brightness in the sky.

Thank you all, only had time to lighten the top part a bit, will definitely get back on it asap for more thorough re-touching;
