tree trunk did it ever have potential?

Took this at the wye valley thought it had the making of a good image not sure now,i have had a go (second image),i have put the original on as well in case anyone wants to have a try.

Far too cluttered Roy, the trunk is lost. You could have got in closer, with a wider angle. This would have made more of a feature of the trunk but would have captured the environment also.

Should've got the fisheye out !

Not my cup of tea, not much of interest really.

I'd have preferred going closer, with a wide aperture, to the tree trunk or perhaps tried blurring the background as, like RR said, it's bit too cluttered. Also, in BW it might be better. Also shooting from a lower angle could be good here too.

as above. "What is the image about?" Not really clear to me. Maybe a different angle or the point of view change to make it more dramatic?
