I would have liked to see a shot of just the upper half of the picture - the trees without the bench. The slope of the seat and the light patch of grass detracts from the red leaves, and I don't like the darker leaves touching the bench. And even without these aspects, the out of focus twig on the left is unacceptable. I got in the habit years ago of scanning the edge of the frame before each exposure, to be sure there were no or at least as few distractions as possible. It just takes practice, so keep it in mind and it should become automatic. I know this sounds awfully negative, but I hope it might help in the future.
