In this image there is an interesting relationship between the stairs, piano keys, the ropes and the tunnel the child is walking through; curves and stripes, stripes and curves. I find my eye bouncing between these as well as the different hands in the image, the railings, the ropes to the tree trunks (we can't see the bark but we know bark is rough like the rope).

I get the feeling that there is meaning here but I can't quite figure out the mysterious ropes. Some of the other meanings are quite obvious, so a little mystery is good. Ropes hold things and the child's hand is held... One rope is old and one is new like the old and new hands in the image... I like that you have not used the same rope and merely changed the value and saturation. That would have come off as lazy.

You managed to have 3 strong focal points which don't compete with each other.

My only nit is the star field being a bit cliche.
