It's a nice texture, but it leads almost nowhere. I don't get much of an emotional response from it.

To the extent that the eye is led, it's led to the crotch in the branches almost at the top of the frame, a little left of center. I think if that was more fortuitously placed in the frame, this could be a strong abstract. I'd also consider playing with the placement of tonality to create some stronger mood, right now it's just sort of.. there. Almost any contrast or curves adjustment, I think, would produce a stronger emotional effect. Sorry, that sounds sort of crappy and negative!

To rephrase, I think this has potential to be a very strong abstract/texture/mood piece, but it's not there yet!
