So strong! My first response yesterday was "wow". I'll try to be more articulate this evening.
A spectacular moment, beautifully framed. Great balance top to bottom and left to right, along with intriguing depth front to back.
The way the "puzzle pieces" fit together and make such a powerful whole is a wonderful metaphor, I think.
Like Ernest, I am uncertain about the dark path leading in from lower left. That seems to suggest a different story than my overall impression of this image. I'm not sure personalizing it (assuming you darkened that area) -- along the lines of Frodo's passage to Mordor -- is necessary. But, I can appreciate the allusion to us tiny mortals amidst.
