The foreground has some nice color in it. The light is a bit flat and the green area in the upper left is a distraction from the rest of the image. It also makes the image look like it needs to be rotated to the right. I think that some experimenting with the composition in this are either early or late in the day, which ever would give you the best light on the foreground is worth a try.

To be honest, I'm not sure what to think about this composition. The light wasn't doing you any favors. And the image seems very soft to me. What is the object near the top border about 25% in from the left border? It looks like a man-made structure of some type. I agree with Richard that the lighter greener area in the upper left does detract from the autumnal quality of the composition, and makes the image seems very unbalanced.

I think this subject and scene has great potential. If you meant to include the open and greenery of the upper left corner, you should include a bit more. Alternatively, I think eliminating that upper corner entirely brings in to play what perhaps was the attracting feature. A crop off top and left gives us a sea of autumn winter bare forest with just a splash or two of autumn remaining. Simplifying might make this a stronger image.

Thank you for your comments.
Yes, the light was not really good in that moment.
And yes, there are rests of a little house up there; we thought it woudn't disturb the natural scene too much.
We'll try some alternative compositions/crops.

Good day,
I like the ideas of trying to really emphasize the sea of autumn with eliminating the top patch pof green as it does distract a bit. ALSO,
This image could be killer good with the right light showing off those beautiful shades of red and brown in the trees. Lots of potential here, and I look forward to more posts.
