Hi Teabelly,

First thing is that when grouping things in images, odd numbers work best so go with three or one and not two. This is because the human brain finds an odd number more asthetically pleasing than a even number.

With your image, I don't think the problem is with any one part of the shot, it is all of the elements that aren't right. The image appears hugely oversaturated and that blue sky definately doesn't help either. The lighting of the trees looks like weak on camera flash lighting which definately isn't helping although the eXif data says that the flash didn't fire so I have no idea what is going on there.

With shots like this you have to make them a bit different, this looks like you shot it as you were walking or driving by, try different angles, get higher or lower but don't take the shot from the first place you see. I have uploaded a mod where I cropped the image to just have one tree. I then dodged some of the branches and then reduced the blues and reds and increased the greens and yellows in the tree. Finally I sharpened.

I hope this helps
