Taken at night... spot light on the mailman... I know the subject is a single tree as the main subject... but it wouldnt have been the same without the mailman statue.
the only editing was with the contrast being increased by 30.

I like the idea here and thought it was actually a living person. Your picture has a smalltown persona and it makes me want to see what else is going on. The moon is a nice touch.
The first thing that captures my attention here is the postman - your main subject should be the tree. Perhaps another angle (if possible) would help. The light on the postman is a bit overposed and it stands out against a black background. The green in the house in background also stands out; I would reduce your F-stop as much as you can to blur the background. Since this was advanced editing you could do that in PS or another program.
moonlight and harsh light postal man? not sure if the postal man is supposed to feel like santa with the green and colours of building in background. man with harshlight is more the subject than the tree. could you put a mailbox inside the spanse of tree where there don't appear to be many branches and kill some of the light/glare? lol...gl in challenge and 5 for having a tree in the shot...:-)
