I think this could've worked better if he weren't up against that tree. I would also like it more if her weren't so centered. 4.

It would have been better to have the man and his dog to the right where you have some nice negative space instead of right in front of the tree where they blend and blur. 4

I can't tell what this image is, but I think it is because it is so dark, not really because it is mystifying. I am sorry but I can't mark it well.

The camera is a bit hidden, no?

Amusing, but the reflection in the lens is an irritation rather than a feature. Nice light, though.

I like the idea behind this shot. The problem is that your subject seems to merge into the pine tree behind so it is hard to tell if there is anything there. I think it would have more of an affect if they were to the right or left of the tree. The tone of the image is perfect.

the one naked leg is distracting. otherwise, it's definitely a mysterious shot.

Tiki Torch at Sunset

My biggest issue is not the size of the image as much as the over-active vignette-ing (thats the big black halo in your picture - it almost looks photoshoped in). I do like the concept. the colors are a tad dark and the torch is a bit blown out. I would suggest a longer shutter speed and a lower iso next time. As to your torch being blown out - what you might want to do next time is this: a simple technique called - diffusion - dont quote me on the actual term name so much as the technique.
Here's what you do - its very technical and challenging so pay close attention here.
Put a plastic bag or some wax paper over your flash.
This spreads out the flash so you still get decent lighting without "burning" (thats the area which is pure white).
Granted there are other solutions but if you want a quick, cheap - diy(do-it-yourself) fix. This will help.

I like the sunset in the background and the fact that the torch has a nice bit of clarity is good. I wish the lighting wasn't quite so harsh on the torch though. The small size of the image detracts a bit as well. If a reshoot is possible, I'd suggest a slightly different perspective so that you don't have those white things at the bottom of the torch, without having to crop out some of the deeper colors of the sky. I gave a 5
