Vision
The story here is shown very clearly and nicely. I like how you made every aspect of the picture suit the theme of “Lighten My Way”. The snow on the sides seem very cold and dark and dead looking and the light that is putting a path looking shading on the ground makes it seem more happy and powerful, I really like how you combined those too very opposing feelings together to make the theme shown more. Good Job!

Originality
Of course I’ve seen things like this in movies but you have portrayed it in a different feeling and manor. I think that this picture is fairly original and not too common looking. In some ways it looks similar and in other ways it doesn’t so I would have to say it’s more in the middle of the two.

Technique
I really admire the lighting and the angle in this picture because the lighting isn’t too dark nor is it too light. The angle isn’t too much in the middle so you don’t get that glare but it isn’t too far off on the side which makes it very nice. I like how you make it look as if you are in the picture but the path leads off the artwork making it seems as if you are in the picture which is a really nice illusion presented in here.

Impact
This brings so much emotion to me because of the light of the sun and the dark of the trees and snow. It makes you feel scared in the forest until you see the sun lighting your path as if someone was watching over you and making sure you got out safe and sound. I really think that this whole theme makes you feel powerful and successful.

Thank you for your time reading this and I am looking forward to see more <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b…" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)"/>
