What were you aiming for, that you consider this wrong?

If your looking at the exposure of the grass in front of the tree, and the dark outline of the tree, and the dark blue sky. The sun is right in the center of the sensor for auto exposure. Your camera set a high exposure setting or fast shutter and would not give ample light.

I think the impact of this photo is fine.

Again, let us know what you were going for, so we can give a more detailed help on the issue you are concerned about.

I was just taking a landscape, really didnt aim at any specific item, thats what I was wondering should I have picked out one object in the photo to draw on if so what would been the best item and angle to have captured this?

For just taking a landscape, you got a decent, presentable shot.

Once you draw your eyes away from the bright spot dead center of the picture, the contrasts and view are interesting. But that bright dot is the attention grabber.

The "rule of thirds" is maintained by the line of the ground where the trees grow out of, and the clouds in the background. The small tree on the side and the post handle the vertical.

I'm not sure cropping would help, may lose some character.

Different angle using the taller tree on the side? Less of a hit from the sun? More exposure of the ice on the branches.

A close up of the branches with the ice.

PhotoShop the picture and play with it.

Good work.
