sunlight trail for c&c

This is SOOC with only sharpening. How is this one? How would you fix this to tone down the shadows?

TIA!

I see a picture, but no subject. Try to really focus on on thing in a shot, and use everything else in the frame to tell the story about it, draw the attention to it, or add to it somehow. This would have been much better if the little pond and reflections had been the the main focus.
