Environment, Character, Object - Forest, Fat Man, Torch

This was quite a challenge but I felt fortunate, with the selection I was given,  a forest and a torch are two things which might quite naturally be in the same scenario and it makes sense for a man (fat or not) to be holding the torch in such a scenario.  

I am pretty happy with the image I managed to come up and think I successfully married together the three elements into something which looks like there might well be a story there. The man's eyes looking up out of the picture in conjunction with the torch also creates quite a nice sense of intrigue.

However, I'm not sure I really made the most of the fact that this was a brief with a focus on composition and I'm kind of annoyed with myself that I didn't try and use a more interesting perspective. There isn't much of a sense of depth either the image as a whole seems a little flat.
