I think you have included too much area on the LHS and because it is in darkness it drags your picture down. I would be inclined to crop off about 2 inches from that side. You will then find that the trapped log and the mist in the background will gain more impact in your photo. Try it and see what you think.
WOW. I just emulated that crop with the edge of the monitor and i really makes the picture pop. Alex, I want to see a print of this some day. This is a really nice capture.
