I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.
Positives: Fabulous contrasts throughout the image and this is of course reflected in your motif. It feels very frozen, like the world has stopped - you don't always get that in photos (though I know you should) - this gives it an almost statuesque feel; like we could walk amongst the static subjects. The dog is the star but I also like the prominence of the sign. It almost competes for the title of the image.
Critical stuff: I think I might have been tempting to crop right up the middle of the tree.
Overall: An effective capture of a moment shared.
