Hmmmm.....as is, this isn't working for me. I like the desolate feel w/ the dead branches and sand, but you lose that w/ the clutter of all the trees on the left. W/ out seeing the location, I don't know if this would work or not, but maybe isolate a dead tree for a minimalist shot.
Keep shooting!!
I like it - the location. and in this the birds swooping. Branch coming in from top-left corner bugs me a bit...I'd clone it out. I like the colors but imo you could also do some B&Ws here (really grainy and contrasty..red filter..polarizer)..keep going back.
