Light/Color: 
The lighting in this has me a bit confused. I do love the ambiance and the color of it, but I'm not sure if it really 'works'. Looking at the shadow on the ground below the wolf, the light appears to be coming from directly overhead like a spot-light, especially when combined with the bright light that is hitting on the wolf's back. However, I think the light should also be hitting the top of the forehead/snout since the light appears to be directly overhead - but in the art, it's not. The light around the head seems to be behind the head. Doesn't seem to line up with the shadow on the ground. I suggest adding similar lighting to the head that is on the back. 

Concept: 
The overall lighting and color of this give it a spooky, mysterious feel but the soft pinks/purple hint of the flowers and the color/lens-flare type thing (not sure what it is) keeps it from being too dark or entering into a macabre/gory type of style. I really enjoy the paring of the darkness with the dainty feeling the flowers/pink gives it.  


Execution: 
I really love that grain/noise texture that's over everything. It makes it feel like an old-timey photo and gives the picture just a little bit something extra to enjoy without being too distracting from the details of the fur. One additional area to consider looking at is the far rear-leg. I could be wrong, but the leg seems to be manipulated in a way that makes the thigh appear to be missing from under the wolf. In comparison to the front light, which is bulky/muscly, the back thigh (at least to me) shouldn't be so thin/lean.
