It's a bit distracting to have two distinct areas in focus - I find my eye jumping from the cable to the wood on the left and back. Perhaps changing the focal plane so it aligns more with the cable might help?
I think you would need a longer DOF and different angle on the cable to draw the viewer into this photo. It is difficult to appreciate the textures without more area in focus.
The subject matter here didn't do anything for me; close focus on the center of a piece of cable; I found the background distracting, and what was in the foreground not of enough interest.
