It's a very nicely taken image, but for me, the short DoF doesn't work here. The whole idea of the shot is that the eye follows the log, but focusing on the middle section makes the eye jump right to it instead of following the texture of the bark smoothly from one side to the other.
If there was something on the log at that point - a squirrel or a bird, it might help, but as it is there's nothing to be seen at that point.
Just my .02c.
