Hi Jwenz,
For some reason, I felt taking in the little shelter area on the right kind of diluted the impact you were aiming to deliver.
Season of Dawn, a walk across the path, these are powerful messages. I'm just guessing here, but I suspect a tighter framing of the shot could've delivered these messages stronger.
Imagine, framing vertically instead, with just the walkway with the sun (behind the cloud) at the top right of the frame, which basically cuts off the shelter and the "extra" cloud on the top right altogether. Try it out, and let us know how it works out.
Cheers,
GB
