A beautiful blue sky and I like the little strands of red running through, with some nice shapes, though I'm struggling to find a focal point. The focus a bit soft.
I agree with Maggie that your eye drifts around the image looking for a focal point. I must admit I am always disappointed when I take what I think are beautiful trees or grasses and find the images are too confusing when I get back home.
I think that each of us has a 'messiness toleration level' that determines our response. Some mostly appreciate clean lines and well defined shapes, others like complexity. When you see the scene in real life you notice the bits that appeal and your mind edits out the rest. Here the interest lies in the small but significant red elements amid thetanlge of other branches, but for me the strong blue sky, usually a strength, adds different colour distraction. I think I would try reducing the saturation of all the colours rather than red (which I might boost a bit). If the red elements top right dont pop enough I would crop it a little.
