This is a very interesting image. The sky is incredible. It's also a very creative take on the challenge and the name is also good. Photographically the only thing is the side of the building being a little hot but I think it has to be that way so we can see the backlit side. For a photo titled "Dead of Winter" this thing sure is alive. Nice work.

Great job. Good composition. The left side of the house is a bit overexposed. One of my highest rated this week.

Light is very harsh on the south side of the house.

So far, this is my only 10! Your composition is really interesting. The rows of headstones brings your eye to the building, and the tree on the right adds balance. I like the wide range of tones from whites to blacks. The left wall of the house is a little blown, but spot editing rules prevent a better fix, so I won't count off for that. There are some power lines running horizontally behind the house that I find a little distracting, but once again, you can't do anything with that based on contest rules. I would clone them out for printing, though. Overall, a very nice image, well composed, nice balance of tones, good DOF. Well done!
