Ferns & leaves (& tree)

Along the north shore of Lake Quinault, Olympic National Park, WA

This turned out a bit blurry due to a strong breeze, and I thought it was of no use. But after Tony Kuyper's down-sampling and sharpening for web, I could no longer see the blur at this size.
I like the inclusion of the solid tree trunk cutting through at a rakish angle. Any opinions on that?

Seeking any and all advice and comments. Thanks in advance.

There are delightful details of the textures and the image is nicely anchored by the trunk to my eye.

Nice intimate rainforest scene Ronald. Love all the elements captured.

Maybe not the last word in sharpness, but the foliage is so fascinating and beautifully presented it hardly matters.

I like the trunk Ronald. It creates some tension and energy in the scene that appeals to me. Beautiful rich colors as well. I like this a lot.

This is definitely a different composition, but the trunk is so prominent it holds my eye. The color and contrast look spot-on to me.
