Rick,
I find this quite interesting actually. A good "story" about how the two separated parts of the tree create a little tension, but also a question as to what caused the break up, so to speak.
I think the Orton effect was used pretty effectively here; not too strong/obvious, but enough for a nice, subtle glow. The only suggestion I have would be to burn down the brightness of the bright wood at the bottom as well as the reddish, weathered log in the bg. I think that would reduce the distraction and help keep the eye and story between the two halves of the log.

I sort of like the comp as it tells a nice story. The Orton in the greens gives some nice pop. Larger version looks much more nicely sharpened.
