Few things wrong like the piece of wood sticking out at the center left. But what else?
Thank you.

The view is lovely but it looks a little out of focus and you could boost up the colors a bit. I'd play a bit with it in PhotoShop.


Life is hard...but I just take it one photograph at a time.

Welcome.

Well, as Maureen said, it seems to be either OOF (out of focus) or fuzzy from compression or something. The layer effect of the grass, trees, clouds is good but there is an overall lack of contrast (that might be good or bad depending on your tastes), might be better to either pump it up or tone it down to emphasize one or the other. The last thing is that there is really no point of focus in the image to draw your attention. I think those things overall make for a "blah" image.

Keep it up, learn by doing.

I agree with Kenny anf Maureen - the OOF is really off putting. If you get past that, try cropping the brown grass out of the foreground - that is too distracting.
