This is an interesting shot. I think the WM is distracting (at first I was wondering why there was a perfectly level shadow going through the bottom of the frame), but if you like it...
I think it might have been more interesting with more of the stick in the frame, like if you had stepped a bit to the left before you shot. Having the tip in focus, then the stick gradually running out of focus.
Sharp focus on the tip of the stick. Good exposure and color. All in all, it's a good shot.
