Walt,
Now you're on to some things that are very near to my heart regarding our craft.
1) You thinking about your message
2) Your message being about causing others to think
For me, this is the pinnacle of our beloved craft ... with the objective / technical @ how to execute delivery of such a message sandwiched between the two.
The nuance could be sliced / diced a thousand diff ways depending on how you want to present. For me, giving cause to those two items provides much direction at how to proceed / present.
As to the changes ... I'm diggin' them, particularly noting the tonal value of the pocket watch to the Bible.
The symbolism here being the relationship of eternity and time relative to a snapshot in time (i.e. photograph). The glasses also provide a sense of what we see when we look and the pen/note to that which we take notice of and aspire to retain.
I could go on ... but I think that you have already brought those things into play in your mind. (okay, I will ) Even the game triggers a thought about wasting time / entertainment vs. seriousness of learning / study vs. exercising the mind, etc.
For some, the cigar may be perceived as contradictory to the theme ... but is it? and if it is, why would that be? On a related note, the Amish might even find the camera / film to be contradictory to the theme ... but is it? and if it is, why would that be?
The nuance of change @ push / pull was indeed subtle on one level ... but POWERFUL on another. I suspect this will be a piece that you will remember for a long time to come.
You may find that you still have some refinements that you want to make (no suggestions atm) ... but your rework has clearly demonstrated that you are in command & control of your message. Like a great sermon starts out as a draft rooted around a message, then becomes a good sermon before it becomes a great one ... so it is with all great messages, verbal or non-verbal. While some images are very much a "capture the moment", they aren't all created and crafted in the blink of an eye ... just ask your pastor.
Carry on ... your vision, knowledge, direction and skill are destined to deliver a Great Message.
(double entendre intended)
BTW, I'd like to place an order for one when you are finished ... I think it will complement "The Door" as another one for thought.

Thank you for the long reply you put in words better than I can what I was attempting to get across in the image.
Please PM me so I can send you the link to download the TIFF file
Both my wife and I liked the Faith image, made me think.
Regards
Walt
