I think you could get several images in this one image, what a find hope you keep taking different photos of this pier.
The textures in the decaying wood is excellent and you've captured it well. There are what seem to be a couple of areas which could do with a little burning in on the upright planks in the top right of the photo.
However, saying that you capture it well.
The one thing with the photo for me is that it could either do with zooming in on the decay or zoom out to give the pier more of a location/story behind the decay, its sort of inbetween if you get my drift.

I agree with roger. Also one opp would be to just get the texture on the first few planks as an abstract. As it stands, thereis nothing to hold my interest. I find myself asking "what is the photog trying to show me".
Also agree about breaking it up into different images. I think a nice tight crop on the first 3 boards would make an excellent shot. Going back to do a wide angle shot would be better than what this one is. There seems to be something lost there. It's a wonderful shot all in all.
