I know you're new to photography, but I'll still say some stuff.

Firstly, the image is too big for a site like deviantART. I think something like 880 px wide is the absolute maximum for images with the new layout of dA. Also, there's absolutely no need to crop/resize the pictures to a "normal" resolution (like 1024x768 in this case). Crop it so the composition looks good, not so it's exactly 4:3 or 16:9 or whatever.

Secondly, the picture is quite overexposed. This means that the shutter speed was too long, and the picture has become too bright. It's mostly visible in that the sky is for the most part just plain white, which of course isn't what it was in reality.

Overall, the composition is a bit flawed too, although the subject is interesting. As FreeLance said, there is way too much green going on.. I suggest you read about the "rule" of thirds, it can really help you in cropping and deciding where & how to take a picture in the wild.

Good luck with your camera
