love that the girl looks like she's laughing at a joke the giant gingerbread man has told .. i also like the way his arms are crossed .. he has quite a santa clause sort'v feel for some reason .. i can imagine he's just about to say 'ho ho ho' .. !!
the lighting and the colours are all excellent and the focus too .. the depth of field is perfect .. the focus on your subjects, and the background still recognizable but not taking away from your main story .. :)

Giving the Gift of Love

what a brilliant shot .. this jumps right off the screen .. almost 3D .. wonderful bright and dramatic processing .. the colours are superb .. love that this is so 'in your face' .. your centered composition really works too .. i dont see a problem with a centered composition as long as it feels good .. and this does .. i also love the reflection .. & those wonderful lights on the christmas tree splashed behind the present are fantastic too ..
everything about this makes me think that whoever celebrated christmas in that house had a wonderful time .. !!
this is such a cheerful and glowing image .. quite delicious .. and very christmassy . !!

Winter Wonderland

what a great christmas image .. love the way those red decorations on the tree seem to be nearly dancing .. they add a wonderful feeling of celebration .. ppl do go to a lot of trouble to decorate their houses, their trees & their cities to celebrate christmas .. we have places around near where i live where they go to extraordinary lengths .. its like they've put on a show for other ppl to admire their creations .. their houses decked out in lights with santa clause and other christmas type statues included in the mix ..
your lighting on this shot is excellent and the tones are lovely . i would'v been inclined to crop off a bit at the bottom tho .. :)

this is a magnificent shot .. love the nearly abstract quality with the lights forming the shapes of the buildings and the excellent lighting on the needle ..
maybe just a tad rotation to the left or it feels like this city is sliding very slowly off the edge of the world .. !! .. brilliant clarity .. :)
ps .. i didnt realised the lights at the top of the needle were on a christmas tree .. it only became obvious after other ppl commented .. :)

My Christmas Tree

Comment:
what beautiful colours you have in this photo .. it really seems like a day or two before christmas and the presents have yet to be put beneath the tree .. the lights on the window make me feel that there's some celebrating going on outside .. the lights and ornaments on the tree look fantastic .. its a great christmas image .. warm and inviting .. :)
the fact that you must be under 7 years old makes this quite exceptional .. you certainly have a gift .. :)

Lonely
by cowtownmom

Comment:
i really like how the title and the image seem to fit so well .. christmas is a great time for ppl to celebrate and get together with friends and family but many ppl are alone at that time .. when you know that most ppl are having a good time it can make that loneliness feel even worse ..
the dark night, the shiny lights and the lone man walking away from the camera all go to make up a wonderful image .. the black and white contrasty processing is excellent and adds to that moodiness .. altho judging by the light pole the image is vertical i still feel that it needs a very small amount of clockwise rotation .. other than that personal opinion i find this a very engaging image .. :)
