Hi.
The major problems are:
-the song is overcompressed, sounds unnatural and it's not a good thing when we talk about acoustic music and the loudness war is already over so it's unneccesarry to overcompress songs, you just kill the dynamics of the song this way.
-the volume ratios could be better
-export in better quality. mp3 is already a lossy file format and exporting in less than 320kb/s just makes it worse.
-the reverb sounds strange for this song, a little longer but quiter would fit better, there's a lot of space in the song that needs to be filled.
if you get through these problems, you can move to EQ and saturation.
