Thanks all for your votes and amazing comments and Bricurtis for your feedback as well.
Nathan, thanks for the appreciation. I was worried about the photo as I usually do not make photos like this but this photo wasn't getting anywhere else.
Hii Bricurtis, it's been a long time since you commented. I guess exposure blending is more of a part of photography than it is to a digital art now a days. That was the reason I didn't add digitally manipulated tag to the image. Yeah the sky was grainy too, I was trying to get the details out up to the point where it is understandable for a night shot. I might add some surface blur and if required some noise reduction to smooth the sky.
Thanks for the UA Paul, cheers mate.

I like - very spooky atmosphere; quite forbidding actually (which, I suppose, is the whole point of the image! ). Comment-wise, I have two points of nigglement for me ...
(1) top left corner - there's a small dark triangle next to the wood, which is almost inevitable. Although in fairness, it probably shows more because the image is on a dark background. Cropping down that left edge would mean that the lower point of the wooden post (in the bottom left) would then also be cropped to the point where it would lose its solidity. So maybe a brief clone in that top corner instead?
(2) is the bottom right hand corner, behind the building itself. It's awfully dark and featureless. And yes, I know that's because of the light fall-off from your car's lights, and it adds to the atmosphere, but I think my eyes want just a bit more detail in that back corner, so that my imagination can get all scared and woosy-like at the possibilities of what could be lurking in there!
Great work though, as usual, despite my two niggly bits

Hi Tanya, thanks for the feedback. The two points you have mentioned were the ones I was stuck for few moments when I was processing the photo.
1) I could have cloned out that top left triangle but the reason I didn't was I wanted the viewer to know that the chain is up on a post and not an entire flat wooden gate, what I mean is I wanted to show the starting point for that wooden post and also to convey that it is not a gate.
2) the reason why it is too dark there is, there was a huge plank of wood on the bottom right corner which was not helping in any way to what I wanted the image to become. There were also a huge amount of bushes against the windows at the end of the cabin which again I felt were not needed. To remove that plank specifically and to hide those bushes I decided to darken the entire area hoping that it might also add some more suspense to the image.

Fair enough!
That's what I like about your approach to your processing - the way you think through what you want to present to the viewer, and how you're going to do it. It's a very considered and logical approach, and it's great because I learn a lot from reading those reasons
