Greetings from the Critique Club...

This is a very interesting shot -- there's a lot going on here, possibly too much. My eyes wander around and although the focus is obviously on that airplane, your depth of field could be a little lower to bring the focus to it even more -- the focus on the airplane does seem a bit soft however.

While this shot definately displays what I would consider a 'classy holiday decoration', I can't help but feel your scorring could have been improved had more focus been on the plain either by the above example or possibly by a tighter crop on the subject.

That being said, your lighting is good and your white balance seems spot on. The image is very clear and the color depth probably very closely resembles what was really there -- so in that respect, it's awesome.

This was a tough challenge to shoot for and even tougher voting for because most people just find everything about Christmas decorations to be tacky. Either way, good job -- and keep shooting!
