This is another shot the illustrates your unique vision. The textures are beautiful. You have a great eye for recognizing how texture can make the photograph in a composition where there is very little tonal difference. Beautiful.
I love pictures of sand and weathered wood and beaches and boats on the seashore....they are so serene. you've gotta do something more interesting with the sand, however. the textures are perfect, now work on the design. spacing is important as well. my suggestion? rotate your camera so your staring at "log" from an angle. make the "l" more blurry, have the "o" in focus. get really close to the boat and have the sand crawling up towards the camera. now you've got the texture of the grain of the wood as well as the etched word, and you've got an interesting point of view.
Great comp, different subject, photographed excellently and wonderful texture contrasts, like the natural tones throughout as well...the only nit is that the lettering which may have attracted you to this is distracting to me....that being said: 9.
