Holiday Decorations And Lights From Any Culture

So beautiful and eye catching in its simplicity, Light and airy it feels like you've stumbled on to a secret fairy land. The lighting is very nicely balanced, you can clearly see all the elements but nothing overwhelms the other.. I really like the blank background, sometimes simple is best.

Sparkling treatment of the hanging lights contrasted sharply with the hard red of the umbrella really make this sing! The impact is further carried forward with the faint outlines of people at the bottom of the shot. Your framing is perfect giving the lights enough room to make them look like a magical shower.

Such a welcoming photo! It feels as if you've just come to visit and are waiting the family to come and open the door. The lighting is well balance and the reflection in the door and side windows give peek of the interior but still keep the eye focused on the Christmas trees and wreath on the out side.

Wonderfully lit and framed! The illumination from the wall lights gives a warm, welcoming feeling while giving you the feeling of evening. The framing is perfect, making the Christmas tree the center of the photo while drawing your eyes around the room and out the door. The depth is fantastic.

Great perspective, gives multiple leading lines down to the end. Great color and super control of the lighting, you can see all the details clearly. Including the off linear lights at the front of the photo breaks the lines up and gives interest,

Dreamy, very imaginative photo! The color and lighting is perfect for the subject. I half expect him to open his eyes and say HO HO HO.. The bokeh and light spot effect really do make this look like a dream that I'm sure he'll wake up from early enough to deliver all the presents.

Wonderful lighting on the child's face. You've captured the skin tone perfectly in the dark lighting. The expression is perfect. The decorations on the tree have just the right amount of light to let you know there is a tree there but keeping you focused on the child. The framing is perfect!

The selective color really works on this, the red really makes it stand out. The vignette effect is very effective giving it a storybook, dreamy look. Nice strong image while being muted in tone. Great use of the reflection to give the photo depth.
