Greetings from the Critique Club!
An interesting an evocative shot. I like the backlighting coupled with the faint visibility of the green of the leaves and the blue of the sky.
I agree with the other commenters that the composition could use some help. I think you made the right decision with placing the densest part of the tree in the top of the shot. I think I'd like to see the shot framed in a way that places the light source (sun) a bit more to the left and even up a little more or perhaps in the top third (I know you'd lose a little of the crown).
The tree has a wonderfully upright quality that gets diluted when those few more diagonal crossing branches are too close to the center of the frame.
I think the main question for you to ask yourself is what the main subject of the photo is to be and direct the viewers eye to what you want them to see - are you highlighting the branches, the leaves or the overall lines of the tree. I'd be interested to see if recropping this photo with that in mind might not yield a more pleasing composition.
Focus - good, could be crisper but I would not object to an artistic choice of a little softer either.
Depth of Field - good
Color/Contrast - good, I like the saturation of the the leaves and sky with the desaturation of the limbs and branches |

| This shot just feels like it has too much action to me. Selecting just a few branches and zooming in might have given a clearer message from my perspective. |

| Nice idea - hints of color in the leaves is very nice. Overall image is a bit busy with not real center of interest. |
