This particular shade of green really seems contradictory to the yule idea. You've gotten some nice effects here, but they don't suit my personal photography fancy. I can't decide if you're a person who always has trouble with the tree lights or if you don't like Christmas in general. This shot just conveys a little bit of sarcasm from the artist to me. Is that what you intended?

Lady Christmas Tree! Cute idea! Looks like a present worth "unwrapping". Cool shot. Background is maybe too close in color to your subject. 7 Swash

The bulbs on a couple of the lights are a bit washed out by the bright light. The ones around the neck and the ones farthest down seem ok. There is a guy on photosig named Dan Hood that did a shot with this same theme. I know this seems silly to mention, but It would have been nice to have the 3 greens at the top spaced out better, so that there were not the 3 greens right in the same spot. Otherwise, I think the angle and framing/cropping are good. I like how the person is moved to the right of the photo, and the lighting is ok. focus and clarity seem to be just fine. Good luck in the challenge.

Well taken, but it just doesn't do much for me. Perhaps if the background in the top left had been black i would like it better.

I think a little less of a green tint and maybe a little more contrast would have made this a little more eye popping.

Very novel use of tree lights- did they get hot? :o) I'm not too sure about the green tone to the shot myself, as it means the green lights don't contrast as much as they could have done - however, it really makes the red lights stand out. Unfortunately, both of the yellow lights are blown out, losing some of the detail there. Overall, I like the composition of this shot, and the idea behind it is good.

Wierd shot. I like the lights but that is a wierd greenish hue to it.

Interesting decorating technique you have there. I wonder if this would have worked better with a darker background. DPz
