I hate to say this, but overall I preferred WIP #6 to this one.

I liked how the background hills seemed to be far away and give the 
impression of a whole world made up of these hills with paths and signs. In 
the new version, it seems that you have increased the size of the background 
signs/poles and the paths, making them look like they're oddly close to the 
foreground. This not only makes the world seem smaller, it also distracts 
from the main motif in the foreground, because the new wide paths are thick 
gray lines penetrating though the image. I also preferred the distribution 
of sign clusters in WIP #6 where they were all over the place. In this new 
image, they are almost only on hill tops (it seems), which looks odd and 
unbalanced to me.

The positive improvement here is that the paths look natural. If only they 
were thinner and there were more of them, as if the whole system of paths 
were seen from a longer distance like in WIP #6, it would look great IMHO.
