Fits the theme perfectly..

I like that it leads you off to the top corner. I am undecided on the two branches that are before the arrow though- I would have maybe moved them out of the way as they are debris.

What were your thoughts when shooting this?

Nice image, but too straightforward IMHO. Understandable given the timeframe. But why rush? :dunno
Also, the path leads to a dark unknown. Seeing this I don't want to "move forward", I want to hit the breaks :wink

I kinda like the branches =c)

I don't know I figured I'd shoot something straight forward, pun intended. I'm still mulling over some concepts.

I think the branches may have worked better if the were at the bottom of the frame. Like you are moving forward from the storm or distruction towards a new life. Something like that. :dunno

Pyro,

I liked your first pic, but I like "This way be dragons" even better. I really like the way the arrow glows and is much more dominant than in the first pic. I also prefer the night-glowey mood more to the storm destruction of the original. But I think both are worthy entries. I don't know about the "dragons" title though. Had to ding you somewhere! :rofl

I like it for many reasons.
One, the colors lend me a feeling of wanting to be warm and dry, and I Had Better Stay On The Path to get where I need to be, Two, I like cool colors naturally, Three, the arrow isn't Exactly where the road goes, but it Might get you where you need to go, Four, it doesn't interrupt me with unnecessary information, such as a title that limits, or an argumentive point of interest in the image, (like a plant, or anything else that take away from the subject).
Also, I like all the clutter, as if the arrow is leading you forward, through the...
Yeah, I like me summa that First Foto!
