Composition: Though I like the idea I feel that the image is out of balance. This could be corrected with a small increase in DOF so the top of the image isn't quite so out of focus or by cropping some off the top. 7
Exposure: To me it's almost right. The sliver in the right third of the image has blown highlights. Since it is in the area of sharp focus the blown highlights are a distraction. However the texture in the rest of the area of strong focus has been brought out very well. 6
Impact: The texture of the wood is what creates the impact for this image though I think it could be improved if more of it were in focus. 6
