Constructive criticism as requested.
For me there's nothing really to focus on here which is the main concern. Sky too big, colours appear a bit oversaturated for the grass and russet trees. Horizon looks not straight- rising to the right which might be how the landscape looks. I'd like to see some green instead of brown in the reight hand shadow.
Upside is that these are all fixable with the exception of the focus point.

There are two questions you can ask yourself..
- What is the photo of?
- Would you print it, frame it and hang it on the living room wall?
If the answers are:
Then you need to ask yourself why?
- Not sure
- No
With this shot there's no obvious subject. A fairly ordinary field and a pretty but distant sky. Now you can get a very good photo without an obvious focus/subject if there is a strong sense of pattern or stricture. But again the photo is lacking these.
If you had to give the photo a title, what would you call it?
I suspect you were going for layers, grass, grass in shadow, trees, clouds but as others have said there is no where for the eye to really settle and it also feels just cropped off on the left. Don'r be discouraged though, at least you got out and shot something and you have retained colours and contrast throughout, no blown sky or black shadows
