Hey there from the Critique Club
First off, always try to include some info about the shot in the Photographer's Comments section. It really helps out when we know what the photographer was thinking and what equipment/lighting/etc. were used, especially when you request a critique. The location doesn't really help me understand what you were trying to achieve.
Camera Work/Technical: You produced a very interesting point of view here, but nothing really pops as being crisply focused. I like the WB you used to give the warmth in the photo. While I normally like shallow depth of field shots, this one would have benefited from more focus, even deep into the background.
Lighting: Spectacular. The warmth of the candles and twinkles in the background are the strongest elements in the image. I really like the moodiness that your lighting provides.
Composition/Content: Nice job using the candles to draw the viewer's eye deep into the frame, to the cross and into the sparkling background. I like your vantage point here, and it adds tremendously to the overall image. It looks like everything is tilted just a bit to me. It is so slight that it looks more accidental than intended.
My Opinion: Interesting photograph that met the challenge very well. I think that this one scored to its full potential as is. With a deeper depth of field and a slight straightening, this one might have closed in an a 6.

| Nice idea but the image gets too fuzzy way too fast. I see what you were trying to do but it just isn't crisp enough. |

| The cross in the background really brings a value to this picture, the colors are warm, its sharp enough, well done. |

| I almost wish the cross was in focus and the lights were out of focus. Nice shot anyway. |
