Nice picture but has a flat feel to me even though it appears to be on a circular object (i.e. Tree or poll). There are a few factors IMO that caused this. Lack of detail, I looked at your image histogram and notice that you had a lot of gray area coverage but the picture fell of considerably on the white end of the spectrum and some on the black end. A +10 of contrast would of helped.
You also took the shot a f/10 which caused the DOF to not shallow as much as it would have if you had taken it at f/2.8 to f/4.0. It would give you a shallow DOF as the tree/pole gets further away from the lens on the sides and in turn would of given the photograph a more dimensional feel.
You subject is nice and I feel meet the challenge. Great shot opportunity. If possible I would suggest a re-shoot with a large aperture (2.8 -4.0) and don't let the trunk take up the complete picture. Choose your composition wisely with the tree off the right letting us see the DOF.
I hope this helps and wish you great success in future challenges. If you have any questions feel free to contact me via PM.
