IMHO, Seems a little over processed - totally subjective

Find a new angle. St Elmo's has so much more to offer than the view from the road.

Use more dynamic range - the lights are too close to the same intensity as the darks.

Poor constrast. Poor focus.

Mostly nice composition. Not sure why it's not working for me overall.

I think it is because the composition isn't strong enough to carry the whole photo. It needs some other element of interest.

The lines of the tree bases draw your eyes in the the center of the photo to what? The horizon might be OK. But it's just an empty field that is too far away to see any detail.

Why is the knuckle in focus instead of the cards?

Poor composition - try adding a little more space near the top or somthing. Google "rule of thirds" for ideas.

Try shooting in raw, and using either Photoshop (not elements) or RawShooter Essentials (free for a little while longer), so you can adjust in 12+ bits. Then you won't get the rings around the sun - more bits = smoother skies (generally speaking).

Maybe use some sort of light weight cloth or paper to reduce the glare on the figurine. I'm guessing you tried that, and it ruined the shadow. Dunno, but that glare sticks out like a sore thumb.

The colors are too yellow. Maybe it was an attempt at artistry. Dunno. I just know the color is not working for me.

I like the three groups of kids, but I would have left a little more space around the edges, especially on the lower left child.
