Interesting! The one time I lob a "softball" at the environmentalists in the crowd & nobody "gets" it. At least no comments proved that they did...
Leaning On a Relative points to the fact that the ladder in the photo is made of wood. The tree (also, wood) was a yet-living relative to the once-living ladder/tree...
This added to the lighting in the lower center seemed IMHO to create a story as well as a storybook pathway from Past to Present. :)

I understand the photo! It seemed that images in this challenge got higher scores for having the whole tree included. But, I do especially like the lighting in your pic. It's peaking out from the background, but gives a warm tone to the photo. Maybe if the ladder were more visible...without the bush engulfing it...it would have done better? It seems a bit busy at the front. I do like it.
