My only question is, "Are these branches dead or just seasonally without leaves?"

I like this idea.
This could have been a great shot if not for a few compositional errors.
The angles are not good. Perhaps re-cropping would improve this but there is still issues with Light, Focus, DoF and Color.
I would like to see this re-shot with a better setup as it seems like a snapshot.

Overall, it's a nice image. The good point is you spent time on details and used your personal stock images. The colors from different sources were well adjusted to fit to each other.
However, there are some things to be improved:
1. Lighting: there are some mistakes regarding the light direction, and also the shadows. Take the center of the image as the center of a clock, the light is supposed to go from 9-10 hour to 3-4 hour on the right, based on the light on the left hand and in the corner of the room. If so, you can see only the shadow of the clown on the wall (his shadow should be long, stretched toward the bottom of the image) and you should see the shadow of the closet on the right part of the clown. The shadow of the baby is not supposed to be visible (even if it's there, the shadow of baby's hands is not similar to the hands' gesture).
Based on the shadow, the height of the baby and the clown are the same, so the clown is extremely short, and also the head of the baby should be visible if the shadow is correct. Think about this image from other angle you can find out the perspective needs more works.
It's a nice effort and I hope you'll get a good score with this contest.

Great work, you got a couple scary clowns there I wonder if that child goes to the circus or the rodeo to see the clown acts. The lighting is excellent the creativity is very nice and all your sources are of high quality.
