Very attractive colours but I'm sitting here wondering if the horizon would be better not cutting through the log. Perhaps a higher viewpoint would work but it might also alter the driftwood composition negatively :?

A very nice pair of driftwood scuptures, and a lovely brooding skyscape.
I see what Neil is talking about, but feel that moving to the right to prevent the driftwood intruding into the headland and leaving the wood against the beach, sea and sky could be a slight improvement.
Still a very nice image as is.

I had left the external viewfinder attachment in the boat and tried to compose it directly from the camera...

I've gotten so used to digital now, it was strange shooting film and not seeing the result there on the fly...only gives me a reason to go back.

That does look so ominous! I agree with the comments about moving slightly to avoid splitting the horizon with the log.
