Technically, well done but not enough interest for me. Very front on and centered and not challenging.

Do you see how the four trees in the centre form an arch? Maybe you should make it a portrait orientation crop of those trees alone and cut out some of the foreground. And then go mad with contrast, and so on.

I think, after trying the above myself, there is nothing substantial enough to make a pleasing image around. Too many similarly small branches both in the trees and the lower bushes and the mountain does not help. No well-defined centre of interest.

I think you have to go back to what inspired you to take the photo and have a go at bringing that out.

Sorry,
Roger
