Crop is too tight on the bottom (I should have left even distance on the left and bottom), and lighting spot is a bit distracting in the background. Otherwise I love the colours, DOF and softness here.

Nice lighting - but underexposed on the left side.

Beautiful shot, love the colors, the upward lighting works very well with this shot, I think the garland at the bottom adds just enough sparkle to give it a more festive mood. good job 10

Man. That is sad. I didn't vote or comment on this challenge.
If I had, I would have said it was a bit too dark and the highlight on the bulb is blown out.The ornament in the upper left takes up too much of the area and takes away from the composition. The two lights are attractive and the composition might have been more pleasing if you had composed them more within the frame and also tilted the camera to get them to look slightly more upright.I do like the mood but it doesn't look soft focused. With a little more work, I think this could be a wonderful christmas card. but that's only my opinion.
Edit: congrats on the new camera, and happy shooting.

An interesting shot; I would have liked to see the crop of just the birds sillouetted against the sky. The color contrast there is very cool, though perhaps a bit too dark a levels job here.

However, I am not sure I see the connection to the challenge here.

When a flock of birds are spooked! nice idea, I almost missed the angle on this one. the colors add so much to the mood of this shot...wonderful sun set. good luck!

Great use of color and silhoutte. The water surface looks strange (over-saturated?), but I'm not sure how you'd fix that without spot-editing. Connection to this challenge is subtle to say the least, but the photo certainly deserves to be seen.
