This is very good.

I rarely do this, but I'm going to admit that I'd have taken a square crop from the top, and left the arrow to fend for itself on the cutting room floor. The human figure is just so memorably accented against the light wall, and bracketed by the vertical shadow of a tone that exactly matches his own, that I think the arrow actually drains some of the tension out of the shot.

When someone tells me how my own stuff should have been, I don't take it at all well. So I hope you're of a more amenable disposition than I.

Take a look at myself? I'd rather go towards that warm light.

This screams "Go the other way!" Ominous!

Like this one, too! I like the glow behind the arrow. Looks more like the direction I'd prefer to take, rather than the one the arrow is sending me to...

I agree with the 'excellent' part, but if I had this I'd like a quite small framed print, no bigger than it appears here ... to force the viewer to get up real close to look at it. I think it's a very intimate, one-on-one image.

You have this way of making the trees speak in a gentle, quiet sort of way. I think one is singing a lullaby.
