i wish the ornament as the subject were better lit - the light circles overwhelm the shot

cool image. i wish the ornament stuck out a little more, i feel like the lights in the background are more dominate in the image. if the ornament was a bit brighter then it would be a knockout. good luck :)

You probably already have been told this, but you have a lot of what resembles sensor dust on your lights. While they are a pretty effect, the spottiness of them really detracts from the beauty. Also, your main subject (the ornament) gets a little bit lost in the background of black. Some soft light coming from the other side might have helped this (flashlight, perhaps?). The ribbon(?) that the ornament is hanging on is way too colourful for this shot. A pretty hook would have been a better choice. Remember to compliment your main subject, not take away the attention. Check out this thread and this thread. The second has a lovely part about how to find out if you actually have sensor dust. I hope this helps :) Good luck!

Woa! There's a lot of christmas pictures in this challenge! I don't think it's a bad thing, because i really like those circles of lights as background! About your christmas..i think the object could be much brighter and with more focus.

Nice image. Too bad there isn't more light on the ribbon.

This captures such a lovely country feel to this floral arrangment. Lighting, B&W tones and details are just wonderful.
