Meets challenge very well: "... take a photograph whose subject is enhanced by the bokeh of the background.". Love mirros, to see the photographer, or at least opposite side of picture setting ...

To be or not to be, that is the question.
First thing I thought of, where did you get a skull...?

*Howdy from the Critique Club*

From reading some of your comments, it seem a little dark and from your histogram it really did show many white pixels except up in the sky area. A quick tip in levels if you hold down the ( option on a Mac or alt on a pc ) and left click the triangles below the histogram and slide them it will show you black pixels which are on the left and white pixels to the right triangle. I do not mess with the center I use curves for this. Most of the time I just slide them until I barely get white or black pixels. I have some examples for you later, whether you need them or not its totally up to you. I also darken behind the block wall it seemed to push it forward adding a little depth.

Now that your subject stands out more, as I looked over your shot, I notice that the tree branches might have outlined this house or building at one time. So now there are more diagonal features to it. Those of the trees and on the block wall and the man carrying the axe and the subject is close to a third, but I don't even think with a good crop you could get him there without loosing a lot of the picture. This just my opinion and you can see my changes here and please let me know if you don't want my version of your image online, and I'll take it down.

You have yourself a wonderful day and good luck in future challenges.

Comment by CzechMan:
This would have been a great photo, but it seems you may have moved the camera during the shot. Good attempt though. :)

I wish it was sharp. But I guess then it wouldn't give that sense of flight.
