Lens: Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM

 Oh, I know this is lame. But with only 30 entries at the time of my shot, I figured entering something was in order. So I brought this Santa bobble head into the snow back in front of the house, setup the tripod, and took some shots. F/2 gave me the best looking size of bokeh, although I did smooth it out a bit in post processing (the 50 1.4 has a distinct 6 sided bokeh shape, so a bit of blur helps it a ton). I thought About having myself in front of the lit up house, but didn't have the time.

I love the background colors but I wish I could tell what the silhouette is.
