Nice Crab, good piece of wood, unfortunately from this photo there does not seem to be any companionship between the two. I would certainly try turning one item around to try to make it look a little less like they have had an argument! :D

Regards, AnneK
My favourite tree is the one I'm working on at any given time.

Hi Mason , i like the idea of adding a feature such as wood or rock ,however i would try to incorperate the tree into the wood or onto the rock . Otherwise the feature distorts or confuses rather than compliments the tree .If the trunk was tucked in closer to the wood , the wood would be less apparent .Another simple means is to bury the wood to represent a fallen trunk . The tree is the feature not the wood .Only my opinion hope it helps .Cheers
