Any comments on how to do this better?

Seems a jumble, no focal point. What's supposed to draw your attention? I'm caught not by the bamboo, but by the blurred stuff in the foreground, and I don't think I ought to be drawn to out-of-focus stuff.

What might make this work better is to shoot a little higher (get the brown mass out of frame) and zoom in and use the viney-looking brown leaves as your attention point; the color will contrast with the green of the bamboo. Even so, I don't think that'll save it.

I think I'd try for something completely different; walk around for a different viewpoint or maybe look up.
