Gritty shot! Love the smoke and haze... I would've probably shot a hair higher on the legs just above the knee so as to get a 3/4 body shot, or left off the top and shot to get their whole legs in the shot.

The change in color and tones is really interesting here.

Love the concept here. I think the props need a bit of work. The ladder is a little too modern, if you could find a wooden one, that would work well. It's really the rope on the ladder that I don't like. Also you seem to be carrying a suitcase, but the title leads me to believe this is about climbing the corporate ladder, so a briefcase (attache case) would work better.

Great flow and movement captured here. The natural lighting is really diffuse and flat, lacking in contrast. You did a great job with the shot and the circumstances encountered.

Beautiful color, lines and silhouette. Everything seems a little far away leaving me nothing to really interact with.

Why cut this off with that frame. The whole shot radiates outward because of the lines of the web, then I feel like I get chopped off at the frame. Stunning shot, horrible use of frame.

The detail on this shot just draws me right in... It's like shot in HD! I just love how you captured the soft light and let it flow through the opening in the trees right through the shot?

You did a good job with the light on the shot. There is a nice rim lighting on the head and shoulders, which tells me the shot was lit from behind the subject. So you also did a good job getting the front of the subject lit. Since the main light (sky) was in front of you there was a good chance of the background being blown or the front of the statue being in shadow and dark.

Some things to improve upon, try to keep the shot a little cleaner looking by limiting the distracting background. One way would be to use a wider aperture to cause blur, the other way would be to shoot from above to include only the green grass, or shoot from belw to get more sky. Also, centering the statue in the frame left to right would have heled a little.

Hope this feedback was helpful and not too basic.
