[ Yes, I'm waiting for the airport shuttle and trying to think up useless
  things to do in the interim! :-) ]

I also notice that it's kind of hard to orient the footprint and the
location the daemon is obviously standing in to create the shadow
(though the shadow from the ladder is pretty acute and the daemon's
shadow less so, so it's still a little hard).  To get a sense of
"action" from this image it might be better to skew the footprint a
little so that it's plain that the daemon was walking towards the
location he's now standing in.

I know it seems a small detail, but the viewers eye takes notice of
these small details and it all either adds up to a feeling of
"reality" about the picture or it doesn't.  The picture, as clearly
and expertly drawn as it is, somehow doesn't give me that exact
feeling.
