Comment by Bear_Music:
I gave it a 9 as well. I'm in the camp that sees the ominous. "No good can come of this!" my mind is shrieking. That's a very strange relationship of trunk, shadow, and arm, BTW. An eerie sort of manacling... Or IS it a shadow? Another trunk? Whatever, it's eerie...

My mark (oh yes, it's important!) was a 9 only because the silly ipad did not register the bump to 10.
It's part of my favorite shots.
Again, my mind went to Tarkovsky, and my reading was way more gentle than I read in other comments. It has to do with paving the road, with family ties, with the clearing in the forest and a slew of other symbolic elements. Life itself

Impending horror? Strength in understatement. The processing pops effectively. Voted earlier.

I understand why this is a popular book in this challenge; easier to stage.
Very good movement of the boy. The hunter being hunted. The quivering trees.
