...a stump carving in Linford Wood.

Bit of a magneta cast you might want to get rid of. I'd also crop a little closer, take some of the left side and top off. I like the angle you've shot from, though.

 

The kind of thing that may make more sense in B&W.

Perhaps something like this?

It was worth another walk at daylight :-))

Thanks, Stephen. I like your suggestions and perspective as well as what you did with it. And, Daily, I would go back to walk there if I could any day. I tried a bit of color correction for comparison before I mess with the first one.

Nice druidic (or dryadic, perhaps) feel here. Daily's right: well worth the return trip (now, go back and try fill-flash... ). I believe I side with Stephen's version, especially the tighter crop. Good shot.
