The colours in this image are spectacular. You chose them well. They set a very eerie, ghost-like scene - much alike the 'myths' that are often told about the local woods. The perspective and angle creates a sort of mood, that perhaps you travelled down to the woods to check if such a myth of a strange man was true - and you spotted him, and now you're crouching, hiding. By darkening the flowers in the bottom left, you draw the eye to the flowers behind it - and the flowers closest to the camera blend in, creating the effect of long stems (to me, anyway) - and this is what created the crouching view effect. I like how the image gets misty and darker towards the back, and there against the light is the figure. I like the blend of turquoise and greens - the greens closer to us give of a more human feel, and by placing the turquoises towards the back of the image, gives the feeling of something inhuman. The only thing I felt was particularly weak about the image was the flowers in the foreground being so blurred. Simply because of the feeling I get, that I'm crouching, and focused on the figure in the background, I also feel that some of the foreground would be more in focus or sharper, but apart from that, this is a spectacular image.

I love how the foreground has a feel of 'rushing' over it due to the eye being drawn over the ground towards the figure!
very nice scene, strangely striking with a 'close encounters' aura about it ... good colour too, it suits it!

I'm almost at a loss as to how I can critique it because I rather like it the way it is ... if anything, perhaps the plants and flowers at the very front could be brought more into focus (but not so much that they draw the eye away from zooming towards the figure). Then they might make a sort of counterweight to support and balance the top half which is really quite soft and floaty:]
