By the way, this is a beautiful piece!
One thing I did notice, though, is that the depth of field seems a little bit off at the top of the image. The tree trunk is in focus, as are the foreground leaves, while the tree in the background on his side is reasonably crisp and certainly looks about right for a photo. With that though, there's some leaves that look like they belong to the main tree's far side that look just a touch softer than the background tree- like they're further away.
I'm only looking at this on my phone, so I could be seeing motion blur showing up as 'lens' blur, but it made me curious. (the arrows thudding into his body, him twitching/jerking at the impact?
Some of the shadows look a little bit funny direction-wise too, but I think that's just me mentally putting the light in the wrong place.
Speaking of light, the specular highlights here are incredible. The glisten of sweat looks just right, and the definition that you've put into the muscles with it is just... Wow. I certainly can't do better myself on a computer, and I'd be struggling to do it with a camera. I don't think I've seen it done better.
I can feel the tension, the pull and bite of the rope, the strain on his shoulders.
