** Greetings from the Critique Club **
Your have definitely used shallow DOF in your image. Great bokeh on the background. I love the glittery blue ornament in the shallow focus. As others have menntioned however, the harsh lighting - obviously from camera flash - is much too harsh and distracts greatly from the subject. Nice effort though. Good composition.

| Flash is a little harsh in this picture. Also, I think the focus should've been moved back to the ornament, which is more interesting than the tree tip. So, I think the depth of field is right, I just feel that it's on the wrong subject. |

| One of my favourites of the Christmas decoration genre. Not too much to say. Perhaps would be a bit better if none of the pine-needles were over exporsed. And perhaps a bit closer cropped on the sides. |

| 3 - Seemingly good potential. Criticism; the lighting is too harsh (looks like direct flash) in my opinion. The potential for the green and blue together looks good, but again the lighting detracts, or rather doesn't 'enhance' that. To see the greens and blues nice and 'vivid', would have made this a much better shot in my opinion. Perhaps also a slightly different angle, paying more attention to what is in the background on the left and right (using or losing it) - and sharper on the end of the pine(?) branch/stem/needles, would also have likely made this better in my opinion. The unusual 'bokeh' effect on the 'ball' (which I presume is some type of glitter), is good, but again, a variation in the lighting (contrast too perhaps), may have brought out more potential. Possibly even a little more 'height', top and bottom too may also have helped, especially at this size. Up to 3 from 2, mainly for the potential. |
