Behind the First Stump seems a bit to out of focus, but thats just me. Does anyone have any comments to add I would like to know if this is Fine or does it need more Focus in the background?

Depends on what you're trying to achieve. Greater background blur sets off the texture of the front log more. I'm finding that more than the degree of blur, the blown out highlight on the middle log is drawing attention away from the front one.

I would've gotten the whole front log in focus.
