What a sweet, cosy set up. I little blurry but no matter, I like the idea! :)

I like the idea of this, rather than your execution - I'm not sure how you might make it more impactful, but a couple of things stand out for me immediately: your depth of field is very shallow, such that the candles are not particularly in focus, along with the rainy window. Also there's a lack of a feel of contrast - you've exposed well enough for the light of the candles themselves, but the light beyond that is rather flat and uninteresting - perhaps simply waiting until the day outside were a little darker might have done it.

This is the most real shot I've seen so far. Cheers for the creativity!

Interesting composition, and a nice feeling of rain that appeals to the senses.

Where are the leading lines?

lines yes, but imo too far away - a tighter crop would maybe have worked better

You did a nice job of placing the statue according to the challenge description; however, the subject choosen has little appeal emotionally or visually. Plus, I'm not sure if converting this to sepia really works for this image, as it tends to make the statue blend into the background in spite of the good contrast on the statue itself.

This is nice, I like the sepia but a little grain might have helped the 'antique' feel. I really love the farmhouse in the distance. The clouds are acting as leading lines bringing your eye into the statue.
The horizon is a tad crooked.
