I was able to get one shot of the crumb from the Oatmeal Porridge loaf. This was sliced 2 days ago, I am really impressed with the moisture. This made the best grilled cheese. oh and we had just made some fresh peach jam and it was wonderful!

You can tell from your pict that this has a nice soft crumb. Well done!
ETA: You mentioned in your other post that you were worried about burning the bottom so that is why you didn't let it go longer. There are a few things you can to to prevent or at least mitigate that. Move your cooking surface up in the oven and/or place something to shield the bottom of your loaves.
I was having similar issues even though I placed the Dutch ovens in the middle of my oven so I placed a pizza stone under the Dutch ovens. The pizza stone is a bit small so parts of the pots hung over but it still did the trick. Recently I moved the stone to a rack below the pots and it worked just as well.
I hope this helps!
I'm sure your loaf was as tasty as it looks.

The crumb looks perfect and reminds me on my bread. I already miss baking after being away just for 5 days. On the other side because I am in SF, I visited Tartine bakery today and ordered a country bread for Wednesday afternoon delivery to take it home on Thursday. Had to queue for 45 minutes before I could place the order.
Happy baking, Joze
