The image works well with the title and description. Only thing I would change is crop 1/2 inch off the bottom. My eye is drawn to the bottom left corner and there is nothing of interest there. My eye should be drawn to the lonely man. Well done!

Agree with Yo_Spiff's comments. The scene is also a bit underexposed for my liking but I understand you had to expose for the tree. Great effort!

Comment by Anthony_D_Archer:
A tough exposure as you don't want to overexpose the lights but at the same time show some detail in the tree. If you had a tripod you might have considered using a smaller aperture (f/16) to create little star bursts which could add more interest to the image. I would crop off about 1/2 inch from the bottom. Well done!

Fantastic image! Love everything about it - the tone, the composition, the depth of field, exposure, sharpness and detail. Lovely work!

The blue tone works well here conveying the cold. I would crop an inch off the left and bottom of the image to strengthen the composition. I would also darken the area on the right as there is nothing of interest there and it is drawing my attention. My attention should be on the tree and person. Nice work and well done!

Great shot! The pentagon bokeh works well here. I like the centre composition of the gift on the reflective surface. The harsh light on the gift is the only thing I would change to avoid the overexposure in the ribbon and top of the gift. Well done!

I have one question. Where did you get the wrapping paper? The picture is excellent.
