very interesting.. at first I thought this was too simple, but I think it's growing on me. the more I look at it, the more I like it!! lighting is nice and even, composition is good, the border is subtle but classy.. good job! 9

cute, but I think it would have been smarter to focus on the bell, which to me is more visually interesting. either way, very well composed. nice shot!

perfectly symmetrical and aligned.. no small feat! good job!

i've always been taught that in photography, your eye is drawn immediately to either a) the area of greatest dark/light contrast, or b) the most dramatic color. In this case, unfortunately, that's your border. A border should add to the picture subtly, not distract from it dramatically. I would suggest next time using a tiny red border and a think black or white border instead.

the truck in the background seems really random and distracting.. is there a purpose in it that i'm not getting, or did you just have no way around it in order to get the shot you wanted?

HAHA, cute title!! that house is INSANE!! I'm not sure if I would classify this as "classy," though ;) on the technical side, i would have cloned out that wire on the right, it's rather distracting

gorgeous shot, but the red and blues are really distracting. i recommend cloning out inconsistencies like that!

fun picture, but it would have been far more impressive had you used a human face and oversized christmas lights (the big bulb ones) to achieve the same effect. i personally prefer borders, and I think one would improve this pic, but I certainly wont consider that in my voting. Good picture, very creative!!!! 8

I really like the simplicity of this.. It would be nicer if the background were consistent, instead of darkening at the top.. Still a nice photo!
