This is a very festive scene with an interesting viewpoint. Title does nothing for me but the image is lovely with some nice focus although that light is just slightly too overexposed.

This looks like a very special shot but I am having trouble making out what I am looking at. I see the tree, and snow, and a very birght overexposed light. I assume those are heads, and you are in a crowd of carolers or a service of some sort (sorry, christmas isn't part of my religion or lack of it). Shot wise, the most important thing I see is to fix or get rid of the light. I realize you can't fix it within the challenge rules though, and you may not have wanted to crop if that was important to your message.. If you had more of the heads on the bottom, you might have been able to just crop the left.

Hard to understand the content matter. I assume its a tree being dedicated outside in the snow through a crowd.

This is a very appealing photo to me, but I can\'t figure out the application of the title, nor what the objects in the foreground are. But I still like it! (8)

Bad points: The overexposed area on the right is a shame, but seems ok in this pic as it's bringing out the detail. Lacks that pazzaz of a 10 although an interesting image
Good points: nice composition and very original idea.
Overall Score: 8

Snow? The lighting is dramatic, and the subject almost abstract. I find it interesting and magical, but the figures in the foreground and in front of the light are hard to identify. My eyes want to make the carolers, but my brain isn't convinced. I think some more context would be helpful, and a bit more light to pick out the ornaments in the tree.

Rather hard to tell what this is, I'm guessing a Christmas tree and it's snowing? The light on the left is really distracting. A 5
