Needs a contrast boost in my opinion, and maybe a more interesting angle.

I'm not finding that this really fits into the Weston style. Seems very washed out where his style seems to be all about crisp shapes (at least that is how I interpret it).

I think there needs to be more contrast. Also, the subject isn't that interesting to me. Perhaps improve by focusing on just one aspect of the logs (maybe those nails).

I like the whole idea, for me a bit underexposed

The subject blends in with the rest too much, and at least based on the Weston shots I recall, this needs more contrast. Maybe it's just a Weston style I don't care for as much.

Seems a little to gray without much contrast.

Not contrasty enough. Even for Weston. :-)
