First of all your subject is near and dear to me. I love trees, and it looks like this is one that stands near a fruit tree, juding from the blossoms that are spread around the base of the tree.
The contrasts and textures in this make for an interesting view, and although it's a little tighter in composition than I'd like, it certainly drives home the point I think you were trying to make.
We don’t make art to show someone what something looks like. All this requires is eyes (or a lens). Art is supposed to have meaning, emotion, power, or magic. Alan & Mario "FourThirds"
