As ratto says the exposure is perfect in this image......
I am, therefore I create.......

Hmm....this would be a tough one. Normally, I'd say split neutral density filter, but having the leaves in the sky portion, don't know what that'd do. Ah, what the heck...I'll still say split neutral density filter with metering for what you want to expose correctly (shadows, mids, or highlights). Of course, there is another solution. Jordy would probably call you a nutter or crazy bloke and tell you to not shoot directly into the sun. :) -=>Donald
ahaha :) Okay. well, my eyes are too delictae and would see red spots for hours after that ;) I will try to follow your advice at next trial with sunny afternoons then. Guess time comes in just a few days... let's hope for a sunny weekend in Rome :) Ty :) very precious care is yours in takin time to advice me :) It means much and it will be my only way tolearn something for real.Have all a great evening :):)
What I'd do is shoot with a far bigger aperture. Anything further away than a few meters is lacking sharpness. Also, lenses are at their best with handling light when you use their optimal apertures, like between f/8 and f/16. Most lenses have the distance that will be sharp displayed on the aperture ring. That way you can see how far ahead you have to focus your camera in order to get both the leaves in front of you and the trees far away perfectly sharp. So, you've made a very good shot, but your equipment can give you an even better result! :) If you don't know how to do this, you can also try to take several pictures and focus on differnt parts of the shot, and just make them into one sharp shot on your pc :) Anyway, well done!
