Painting Advice Needed Please!

Bridge View
This is a view that I have just painted of the bridge in my village. I've sketched the scene a few times but the painting was actually done from a photo that I found on-line.
I think my phone camera has made the colours appear a little brighter than they actually are. For example the foliage reflections in the water are nowhere near as bright and the shallows in the bottom right hand corner are not as visible as they appear.
However barring the deficiencies of the photo, what I would appreciate is some good honest feedback - my concern is that the trees don't look too good. What is your impression ... do they look "plastic" to you and if so what could I do to improve it?
Many thanks
Jane
