It's OK, really. But it takes time to see that it's OK - composition is a bit complex, so maybe it's not for place where people spend 4 sec on each foto, but for a large print... or so it seems to me)

I love everything about this picture! Especially how that one branch from the tree is slightly foreshortened.

The plant in the botton is too much centred and steals the attention from the otherwise interesting tree. Nice colour saturation.

Horizon looks crooked. Nice capture overall. Good interest in foreground and background.

Nice colors and composition. Joshua trees make great subjects. For my taste, taking a half step to the left or right so that the plant is not centered would have improved the composition a little. Also, the horizon feels a little tilted.
