Nice and spooky, maybe not low-key enough? a little too much glare from the candles - tough to shoot. Good try!

I think this is one of those pictures where we are just looking the wrong way. A slight tilt to the the photo. However, the moment you captures is very, very well done. Emotion is a key element to photography and you have it here. While not a top 10 photo it is still underrated in my opinion.

I love the light here, it just kind of moves around the tree and really gives it a nice tone. I'm not sure about the post, I understand it gives interest but it really doesn't seem to work with the tree in the background. They just seem very unrelated, but I think excluding the post/banner would have left you with a very empty shot. I am undecided about it. The composition as a whole is terrific. I might have been improved by being 3 feet taller, but that is a tough one to accomplish without a step ladder. :) Still just minor pickings to a solid entry. It should have done much better at least in my eyes, mostly just for the light alone!

Nicely composed shot. I think it would have been a cool shot if you could have used selective desat.

I think the focus is a little soft and you probably should have shown more of the area. The look between the dog and the master is great.

Nice photo, but I wish we could see more of the man's face. On the post-processing side, this probably needs to be rotated slightly clockwise. It also appears to be over-sharpened. Notice the halos around the man and where the dog's back meets the sign.
