This a tree in my back yard. This tree has an interisting bark and in the same time this tree is sick and old. Look you can see a form like a human who\'s smilling.
Cet arbre est dans ma court arrière. Cet arbre est interessant par son écorce, et de plus il est malade et vieux. Regardez bien et vous pouvez voir comme une forme qui fait un sourire. SMILE

First Impression - the most important one: Interesting shot .. .not really what people would be looking for as a night shot ... I think that may be the issue with the scoring you reiceved.
Composition: This is interesting to some and not others ... that could be the issue ..I think that it is a little small ... try to maximise your images to the maximum of 640 longest side .. to create a bigger impact.
Subject: Just because it is take at night .. doesn't make a night shot .... yes it was taken at night .. and yes it met the challenge .. but the image doesn't tell me that ...
Technical (Colour and light): Interesting shot ... colour is good .. appears to be a little oversharpened .. I can make out the face .. and its cropping appears to meet the rule of thirds.
To grow its vote?: I don't know that this shots vote could be improved ... but I think that by taking a look at the other shots that have been taken and see what they did you will find other ways of interesting shots.
Summary: Well done, interesting shot ... I like what you have been doing ... keep it up ..

I believe that this is a night shot, but I think you'll find that you'd have scored higher if you'd done a shot that was a bit more distinctively night-ish.
Good contrast and sharpness.
