Description
Thinking about light and enlightenment. Are the people in the village right being calm as the sun rises on another beautiful day or are they lulled by the beauty into a false sense of security? Who is the person ascending the steep cliffs - a leader with all the answers? a prophet? he seems to be equipped with sources of light from the past and the future...
So what is real and what is an illusion?
As usuall I'll be happy to hear your thoughts and feelings, as well as comments on artistic/technical points.

Great composition. The subtle diagonal of lights works well, i think. The sunlight just touching in the rooftops an treetops looks great. Good pose. Good image. So, he's turning his back to the sun, he doesnt seem to need it, he has his own light, even though there is still sufficient natural light. This, together with his body language and outfit, would lead me to conclude that he's a bit arrogant, like he thinks he has all the answers and wants to climb higher than the sun. I wouldnt follow him.

It´s good to know that there are other sources of light, and it is good to explore them; I believe that the soul gets rich with each new experience; anything is good, anything is bad. What counts is the road. It is possible that the character of the image brings us new revelations; it would be good to listen to them; we don't lose anything, and maybe we also win something. However, I find suspicious the fact that the character walks in opposed address to the village. And that he doesn't have followers. And, above all, I realize that his "light" doesn't come from himself but from an external source. For these reasons, I wouldn´t follow him either. I´ll always follow the sun.
