First reaction: I laughed. That's a good sign for Anderson. We've got some color here now. The birds have flow away, the moon is rising, and we can see the stars. Time has passed. Storm's a'brewing. Our teepee friend looks worried.
This is a fantastic shot. Harrington introduced a sense of the time with the moon beginning to rise in twilight and Anderson picked up on that. It looks as though an hour or so has passed; we're in the early stages of night. Anderson also flipped the pupils of the teepee around, subtly switching its gaze from the birds to the impending storm and imposing mountains. The little guy looks scared, doesn't he? Your commentator is impressed by the subtlety of the match so far...I was not prepared for it.
Let's see the return!
P.S. From the forums: "It looks like the wigwam was minding his own business trying to figure out how to play an Arcade Fire song on the ukulele, and now some stoner-rock band over the horizon just cranked up their amps and started screaming PINK MOUUUUNTAAAIN!"
