 Given the time of year, a Christmas tree seemed appropriate. The effect of the lights in the background really works for me.

Very tasteful...the white looks like snow.

6 - Very nice. Background/DOF/bokeh is very complementary. Criticism; having said that, the dark green 'line' on the left, which I presume is the lighting cord/cable, detracts, but fairly minor. Like to see that 'stem/branch/needles' enhanced, 'somehow', just a bit more, making it really 'pop' and dominate. Perhaps a slight crop adjustment too, mainly at the top/bottom, trying to not 'cut' any 'circles' too much, may have also made this better in my opinion. Good potential here and nice and simple, including the colors.

Love the bokeh and the sharpness of the needles. I think it needs something more to make it really stand out though.

nothing to really "grab" me here....if there was an ornament, bulb, anything. It's like "interesting background" but no main element.
