Eerie Root formation..C&C plz

[Fotografer]

As I was on a hike a couple days ago while camping in upstate NY I came across this awesome root formation. Unfortunately, I didn't get the &quot;creatively correct&quot; exposure I wanted for the right shot. As you can see the first and second shot I really like cause they capture the creepiness of the root formation, except that feeling is ruined by the sunlight. I finally got the exposure I like in the third and fourth shots but I didn't get the composition right. AHHH. Tell me what you think and offer some advice if you want.</p>
