Thanks, Gaby. I think, as Erin suggested, the lack of obvious holiday decorations held it back. I knew that going in, but had left the taking of it too late. Was editing freshly taken photos the night of roll-over and didn't have time to do more so I could compare. The overpass bridge blocks most of the "holiday decor" from this perspective, but at a glance, the focus and exposure on this set looked the most promising so I went with it. I do appreciate your support - as well as that of others who enjoyed the picture.

love the agressiveness of the colour/light contrasts, not to mention the wicked curves/twist/patterns of the gourd.

They still call it the Weird Harold or are you too young? Lived there in 80’s.
You nailed this one with exposure and good sat. 10. GL.

I love this! Very architectural. I had to hunt as to the 'why' it would be December, but believe the trees wrapped in lights is it. There is a bit of banding/hallowing around some elements but it is still very pretty.
