Greetings from the Critique Club!
Hits: This is a good night shot; the subject is well exposed (and not overexposed as often happens). The texture of the tree shows very well, and the colors seem right. It's good you chose an off center composition for this.
Misses: The key interest in the photo is the network of branches at the top of the tree. As mentioned, the textures work well, and there's a nice "branching out" feeling. However, aesthetically, it seems to end too abruptly. I think it would work better if you could have gotten more of the branch area of the tree and include a little less of the trunk (assuming your flash would cover it). Perhaps a vertical format would help.
Ideas: One thing you could have tried which I think would have made this really a "stop and analyze" type of photo is a little trick, but legal. What if you were to flip this upside down? I think it would look pretty cool, and there's no rule against it. Maybe next time!
Regards--Neil

| This photo has a lot of depth. I don't think the negative space in this photo is working to enhance the subject. I think if you'd have cropped some of that off, you could've gotten we viewers closer to the subject and even added more depth to the photo. |

| I like the use of negative space, very effective. |

| The tree provides an interesting shape, and the picture is nicely composed, but the lighting looks very artificial and my first instinct is to say this tree would look better in daylight. |

| This shot meets the challenge, but I don't find the image particularly interesting overall. It seems to lack a strong subject element. |

| Your composition is strong with the tree at the upper left node. The lighting seems quite harsh, though. The tree has an interesting texture. |

| Nice detail on the bark . The cut off branches detract from your overall effect (the truck fading into black is better). |
