The model is too centered... and the weeds almost overtake the boy in terms of importance in the scene.

candle light

The difference in color between the light of the flame on the candle and the light on the face is bothering me a bit, and I'm not sure about the position of the light in relation to the face. Maybe a different composition with the light in front of the face (so the flame overlaps the face) might have been stronger?

Light in the Darkness

It does not seem to be in focus. The highly centered position of the candle looks out of place in relation to only the top half having any thing.

The high contrasting white dots on the left side are very annoying, but without spot editting it might be hard to remove without washing out the fox (dog?). I'm not sure I like the crop however, pushing the fox so far to the right and cutting off the neck.

Checkmate; Darkness for the King

Maybe pushing it a bit... maybe if the winning side were to use black pieces (rather than a brownish finish) it might do better? I don't think the very centered composition is strong in showing the "darkness" of the loss.

The darkness of my mind

Comment:
Although I like the light on the upper half, the slight bit of light at the bottom where the leg is doesn't look right considering the almost completely black middle half. Perhaps full use of the 640 pixels would have helped in terms of detail, because a lot is lost with the smaller size. As for the model's expression, it doesn't look "dark", but it probably is just the lack of detail from the small resolution.

Perhaps a bit too much post processing? Large sections of the picture are washed out in the lime green and don't actually add to the picture.

Ok... I recognize the area this is shot in... and I love the area. However here, it was shot at night, so you had to slow down the shutter but in doing so you ended up letting the clouds blur from movement yet the moon and rocks are in sharp focus. Perhaps you wanted this, but I'm not sure if this conflict is ideal.

Nearing Dark

As a sunset picture, this is not very "wow". Perhaps you could have waited a bit longer so that the sun has neared the ground and caused some backlighting? In that case, it might confuse fewer people wondering about the "darkness" aspect. Also, using the full 640 pixels would be ideal.
