Congrats on your top ten finish!

While I was shooting a passerby came along and I thought a person in the frame would add to the photo. So on my way back home I stopped and took a picture of myself standing between the tracks. However, the lighting had changed quite a bit, and the POV was radically different, which made adding the person a bit of a challenge.
Thanks for the votes and comments!

Great idea for the challenge. I think it would be better without the figure though. In my favs.

Suits to the topic. In my favorites.

this is a fun photo... I like the symmetry, composition and lighting and its right on theme.

Well done! The curves are really striking, and the density of the woods underlines the sense of confusion.

What a dilemma!! Very clever.

Love the trees and the track - tones and colours are great and an amazing subject.
For me, the human figure detracts from the image significantly - they are not needed (your title poses the question) and distract the viewer.

The man appears to be floating. I think if you had added a shadow of him that could help. I see that this is not a mirror image, taken at two different locations? I really like the contrast between the curved rails and the straight tree trunks.

This is a great example of curves including the tracks and the trees. I also like the subject as it conveys indecision. I have often found myself in the same situation and can easily relate. In my TT's.

The pasted in figure looks very fake. I'd like this much better without that figure.
