Oh don't say too simple! I love this. Sometimes when things are over-thought they look that way. You nailed this with something really natural. I like the composition a lot too, esp. the branches across the back. The fact that they lead into the focal point helps to keep the image from bouncing all over the place. There is a lot to look at, but you managed to lock me in to what you wanted me to see. Success!
Simple isn't always bad, but I think you need to recompose this shot. The part of it that is closest to us is really out of focus and those out of focus roots going up to the right don't add much to the picture either. I'd either re-shoot this or crop it more tightly.
