Road to?

[Theo]

When I took this it felt like Tom Hanks in castaway. i wounder where my life is going.

Very gritty.

A hard road to travel; not much to look forward to on the horizon, nor a lot to see along the way.

The color treatment is interesting; it makes me think of dusty and dry; perhaps "parched".

The graphic treatment is indeed gritty and very appropriate in light of the quote from your post. But is employing a rather simple formal treatment enough to convey the essence of this existential question?

A symbolic meaning of the road is clear, but what about other elements of your photo? Once you decide on a message in your image, you should reinforce it with more than one element, or at least, not let other elements interfere with your message. The telegraph pole on the horizon makes my thoughts jump away from the symbolism of uncertain future in life and towards purely visual distraction.

Cast away, the ending scene. Indeed, that was my thoughts too. It's like the scene is already fading away - that's why I feel it must be the end of a story. And the beginning of a new one. I like the shot for that quality.
