Good piece of work you did here. I like the atmosphere, you really got the spooky vibe in this one. The one main thing thats holding it back a bit is the that the tree looks a little plain/flat. Applying some shading or a gradient to it to give it a little more depth would've really improved this piece as its one of the main objects in hte scene and brings the entire picture together on right side.

Thank you! I left the tree flat on purpose, for a couple reasons.  1 - there was already so much detail in the piece itself, I didn't want to distract from the main subject. 2 - there isn't really any lighting on the tree, although I could have put some moonlight on the edges...I just thought of it more as a frame than as part of the image. ^^  Thank you for your input though!  I'll think of that in the future.
