Wow. Spectacular shot. I didn't see the birds in the thumbnail. You might want to look at this as a vertical shot to emphasize the lines formed by the cypress trees. Attached is a quick crop with a small amount of sharpening to show what I mean.

Like Kevin said, first thing to do is correct the white balance, unless you're looking to create a moonlit appearance. If you do want your snow white, it's too late to do it in camera but your image editing program should have the ability to fix it. In Photoshop Elements 2.0 the tool is called Color Cast and is in the Enhance menu under Adjust Color. Other programs may be different but should have a similar function. The other two improvements I'd suggest would be to not frame quite as tightly to allow just a bit more space around (mostly in front of) the tractor and use a smaller aperture for more DOF to keep the back of the tractor and trees in sharp focus. On the positive side the basic composition is good. Placing the tractor off center prevents the shot from seeming too static and helps create interest. It's a well seen shot esthetically that just needs a couple technical boosts to help it out.
