It's hard to be specific with comments here as you provide no info on how you shot it or processed it. I will say that you have a lot of movement in it (trees, grass, water) and this causes the ghosting and loss of sharpness to the processed image. Personally, I'd work on the alignment more in this shot. Assuming you processed 3 or 5 images, I might try working with only 2 to see if you can get better alignment. Also the clouds look a bit too dark. To my eye, this is a nice start but I'd work a lot more.
Were you on a tripod? Did you have your shutter speeds high enough to stop movement? There are a lot of factors to consider.
