I wish there was a little more contrast. I love those people peering out the door in the background.

Evocative. Wonderful colors and textures. I love his hairline and ear. You used the past tense in referring to your son. I hope he's OK.

Don't know that I care for the yellowish cast, but it's a very powerful composition. The bird at the left is a super touch. It puts everything, including the metaphor, into perspective.

Hmmm. This has become a completely different picture. The impression I have in my mind of the first shot is a strong vertical line crossed by two strong horizontal lines. IMNSHO, the lantern was an interesting element, but not as important, visually, as the beams. Now, the picture is more about textures and tones and the lantern. The vertical and horizontal lines of the beams are part of the background.

I think that, visually, the first picture was/is a stronger graphic, but I don't think it comes across as well on a computer monitor which is a horizontal layout.

Thanks for taking the time to alter your picture.

Beautiful morning capture. I love the mist and dew. I'd like to see you get rid of the stray branches at the right.
