I'm sure you're getting killed in the score, but I find this photo to be very warm and comforting, with a hint of sadness. I feel like I am the person looking out the window, and I feel like this person has a story, an interesting story, a meaningful story. 7
Maybe you would have benefited (specifically for the sky challenge) from just going outside and shooting the same thing without the Christmas wreath? It's a nice idea, I think, but it seems to sit in the way of the sky without adding much to the shot, probably because of the lack of focus. You'd have needed a much wider DOF to make it work.
This shot seems very soft on focus and is tilted to the left. Be sure and check your horizons when you shoot or when you post process the shot. And be sure and check your focal point for clarity.
Use manual focus for these dark images because auto focus does not work very well in low light. The only part that is in focus is the center of the wreath. Nice composition and colors. 5
Too much of this appears out of focus. Halo around wreath looks like this is an HDR, but if so you needed at least one additional exposure to bring out the interior of the house.
Like the concept, but not fond of either the cropping/composition or the motion blur :: Seems like you could have gotten this right with just a few more shots! << 5 >>
The soft focus/ blurryiness of the window panes and the wreath takes away from image - I think illuminating the candle would have been a nice touch - possibly done as a second image at shorter exposure and then 'adding them together'.
