Positives:
Color, general sharpness and content are good. It is a study of circles for this challenge and works well for that purpose.
Technicals:
Texture is well achieved and necessary for this image. Though the sharpeness is generally good it might be slightly oversharpened. There is just a hint of 'jaggies ' in some of the lines and an annoyong white halo over the bottom log at top the of the central opening. Ironically, yours is better focused than my entry in this challenge. :)
In photography there is a lot of discussion about the need for a central focal point in every image. Most suggest there should be. Your image really doesn't have one despite the central oppening and that might hurt it in some people's view.
The challenge:
Meets the challenge in a very direct and unmistakable way. It may be a bit stereotypical for some voters and they might vote you down for it.
Some voters might just plain think this image is boring.
Suggestions:
I'd recommend working the sharpness a bit more. Not a lot, but a bit. Any hint at digital effects should be reduced to nothing in every submission.
In the area of a central focal point you might consider a re-shoot where you find a particualarly interesting log end and try composing it at one of the rule of thirds intersection points. |

| Even though this is something I've seen before, the clarity, color and contrast really make this photo stand out - very dynamic, and the see-through bit in the centre makes it |
