Good composition, however, what really kills it for me is the dark dark shadows. You need some bounce light in this to allow the shadows to appear to be more natural. Would recommend using a hdri that matches the mood you wish to set. e.g. Use a grey sky for a more autumn/winter feel or use a blue sky to make it a bit happier. You already have a main light I believe so leave that in. The HDRI will add colour to your shadows as well - Fun fact, shadows will have a hint of warmth or cool in them based on their surroundings. So if it's a blue day you can expect shadows to have a cool feeling. And generally a grey day will create a more dull neutral shadow. Warm shadows happen usually when it's caused by plant leaves overlapping each other (Sub surface scattering) rather than it being the shadows on the ground. Hope that helps a little!
