I think the crux of the problem is that you have taken the photograph in full
sunlight with the sun very high. The leaves are not only reflecting light like
crazy (as such species of tree do), but the whole image is high contrast.
Personally, I would not have taken the shot.
Under lower light levels with lots of cloud around and it would have been
much more satisfactory as the shadows would have been lessened, and the
peak highlights probably would have been absent.
