I think the concept of this image is a very interesting one. De-saturating all the colors except red really puts a spotlight on the redwood trunks. I also like how you used the dark branches in the background as framing elements, the curved branch is particularly effective in this regard. And now that I think about it, this image is pretty unique in that it is nearly all about framing elements, even the main subject is a frame. Very clever idea on your part.
My suggestion for tweaks would be eliminate the bright horizontal branch in the URC, being bright and near the edge makes it a distraction. I t also points slightly up, and thus leads the viewers eye out of the frame. I would either crop or clone this branch away.
This composition doesn’t work for me. Half color and half b&w on a linear boundary across the image feels strange. Then that half of the image is straight up and down and the other half is all curves. It’s as though there are two unrelated images combined into one. Just my opinion, though.
