Good work... The tree and sun-lite clouds are what draws my eye.
So, for me, I would do a crop that omits most of the dark area at the bottom (including the road) and the area to the right of the tree. You will end up with a rectangular image of the tree, the sky, and background that is about the same ratio as this one.
Just my take on composition. Good image to start with, though!

I think I would also crop from the bottom. My preference for this would be a square image. The top half of the image is very nice!

I agree that the main focus of the image to me is the top of the tree and the lovely sky and colours behind. So I concur that cropping off the road and perhaps some of that white whatever to the left might make for a more pleasing image - at least to me.

That white whatever is a cloudless portion of the sky.

I fixed it with darktable.
I played with the settings in the modules shadows & hilights, sharpen, lens correction, raw black/ whitte point, color zones, contrast brightness saturation, local contrast, and crop and rotate.

Me, too... The point is that composition is just as important as proper lighting. Perhaps moreso. Sometimes, like in the case of the original image, you can crop to achieve the result you want. At other times, you will be able to get it "In-Camera", which means little or no cropping needed. And, sometimes for me, the image needs to be straightened, so leave some room for that. Keep working at it!
