I think its good ! ... there's been plenty of comments around lately to the effect that woodland and dense forest is a particularly difficult subject to photograph well.

I think the composition would be strengthened if you had got down lower, like on your knees, or had moved right up close to the larger logs near the centre. Both of these changes would give stronger foreground and something to 'anchor' the image more.

I agree with Nigel.
Scenes like this always beg to be shot but the problem is chosing the point of view ? As Nigel said, it is worth experimenting with getting several shots from different angles including low down and close ups.
There is a lot of information in there and it possibly needs something to concentrate the view ?
I had a similar dilemma recently and this is what I did :-

Whatever, you have captured it well with good exposure and sharpness.
Just keep on trying different things.

Best regards

I have never benn able to make this kind of shot work

It is difficult and you appear to have done well
K10D, K5 plus plenty of clueless enthusiasm.

For what its worth, I think I would have got closer and framed it so there was hardly any sky in the shot. The brightness of the sky pulls the eye away from the moss and wood textures. As others have said, these are difficult subjects to nail!
