The change in lighting is probably a bit too drastic between the lit part at the bottom and the shaded area. If it were more gradual, leading to the texture of the roof area I think it probably would have done better. On some monitors there may have been no detail to be seen in the middle.
Because of the bold use of light and shadow, I was very impressed with this piece. Wonderful texturing on that roof. No mistake as to what it feels like. One of my top 10 favorites of this week.
This is a very appealing composition; balanced asymmetry! The shadow of the log end is especially good. And the image showcases the several textures effectively. Also a finely judged exposure, given the tonal range you've managed to capture. Plus it's B&W ... Bravo! 8
