My main concern in this photo and the others in this set:

is composition, but I'm interested in ANY feedback. Thank you!

Why did you select this particular arrangement? The nutcrackers fill the left half of the screen and are clearly in a Christmas setting but they aren't looking at anything in particular. Instead you could use a different angle to make them fill about 2/3 of the frame and have them looking at the viewer, while still retaining some context from the background and the diagonal formed by the fact they are not positioned in a straight line to the viewer. I think that would make it more engaging (and more menacing - they are scary looking little things).
