Before I start, the only reason I didn't just say "nice" and move on, is that I think the shot is very close to something great, but not quite there.
I feel there is a lot of potential here, especially in the second position, but something stops me from thinking it is perfect, something makes me wish for more. I think that at the same time, it is not uniform enough and too uniform, there is too much or too little in the shot. The tree on the left is too close, and thus at a larger scale than most of the trees, and it also somehow divides the photo in two bits. The tree on the right looks different than the rest, and decreases the uniformity, and another half tree leans in from the right. I think if you could find a slightly different position in the same place, where all trees are more similar and at the same distance, roughly, and no trees are cut in half, it may gain a lot more power.
On the other hand, if you were able to somehow step back and get more, if there were a clearing or something like that, and you were able to include the treetops with an interesting sky and maybe clouds, then the same scenes could again be more interesting, even if it is less uniform. A wider lens might help.
FWIW, I attempted a similar shot some years ago, and went too close, and as a result, the shot was uninteresting, much less interesting than yours.
Very nice shot in any case.
