welcome to dps!.....

i took the liberty of moving your thread over to the landscape technique section where more general questions can be asked......critique has a few rules that you'll want to become familiar with before you make your next offering......

thanks

I think it is a good one! shocko990 is right, it does look quite human, good eye to spot this! The composition is good, nice and simple, good oof background. I like your fingerprint logo as well, although it might be better placed on a less busy part of the pic, maybe on some of the blurred bg rather than the sharper fg. As for turning a good shot into a great one, is the focus as sharp as possible? The twig person looks slightly soft. I like the shot anyway. Keep it up!

Just a little Local Contrast Enhancement:

Ctrl+J
Filter> sharpen> Unsharp Mask
Amount 10
Radius 50 pixels
Threshold 0
Flatten and save

If you can retake the image i would say don't put the stick right in the middle of the picture but rather to the side which should make the image stronger and also make the stick tack sharp since it seems a tad out of focus here.
