ok now, you have an interesting item in there that is surrounded by some less interesting pieces. this again should be about - what is my focal point? I'll PM you a pic of mine that would give you an idea of what to do. It would be about rearrangement and changing perspective and adding a little DOF.

This one is fun too and I'm glad to see it got a somewhat decent score. The more I look at your photos, the more I realize that people just aren't getting your humor lol. It seems to be a little quirky and off-beat, and the general population as a whole doesn't get that. I hope you don't ever lose that while shooting!

Now this is pretty damn cool and I don't know why it would score that low. I do agree that the thing to the right is little bit in the way. It takes practice to look for these things when shooting.

Ok now based on our conversation, I'd say that this one is good with having your subject get the full attention. The two things I think need changing are that the post is a little soft (I'm guessing this was a hand-held shot)and you have this cyan-green stuff in the trees. This comes from playing with the saturation a bit too much.

As a suggestion, for a lower light setting, and with using an Olympus: You could actually go up to an ISO 400 and push for a little better shutter speed. This helps steady those hand held shots. Also, a lifesaver for all this noise that Oly puts out is to get Topaz Denoise 4. My pics have never looked better.

i love spooky, horror, anticipation, fear and this creates those feelings amazingly well .. the fact that the eye is slightly undefined might add to the atmosphere .. i can see this on the cover of a book .. would suit horror or thriller i reckon .. it's 5.18am here in oz and i'm sitting at my computer .. the window is beside me .. and it's dark .. i can imagine this image superimposed on my window, but REAL .. !!! .. scarey stuff .. well done .. !!! ..
think i might close the curtain .. :)
