One of my favorite parks in the area just did a controlled burn where they burn off the surface vegetation to minimize fire danger. I tried to get some decent shots of the scorched earth and saplings. Might have to go back and try again. Thanks for the inspiration.

Good capture. If it were mine a slight crop on the top and bottom. The two stumps are the stars of the shot.

Yes that does work to call attention to the stumps as strs. A little cropping on the left for compositional balance seemed necessary.
While that's a good take, I like the foreground water and the sky included, for the sake of color and suggesting Spring.
