Some suggestions would be to kneel down on the ground and think in terms of rule-of-thirds. Compose the shot in the frame of your camera. Imagine this photo was divided three ways, and think of how you would compose it, where would the focus be, where is my line of sight going. For example, I would make sure that the tree on the right hand side of the frame was either gone or on the very edge of the photo. I would also kneel down onto the ground and possibly pick up more of the light that's creating the shadows in this photo. That way there's an angle in the light in the photo, coming from the upper left hand corner of the shot to the bottom right. My eye can follow something.
Unfortunately with a camera like this you can't do too much. It's all about how much light can be absorbed into your lens, and most compact cameras don't have such features where you can manually fix your aperture and shutter speed. Some do, and I saw in your comment you were going to invest in a new camera. There's some good compacts, or you can go ahead and invest in a good beginner SLR and stock up on lenses. The more practicing with composition, the better.
