Composition - My first impression of this pic was that the building was looking a little rough. I didn't like the contrast that provided between it and the bulbs in the tree. The top of the building looks singed. The second thing I noticed was that the bulbs are a little underexposed. Nothing major though there. The third thing I noticed was that this is a great great camera angle to take this picture. It includes a nice balance of tree on one side and building on the other. The building does offer some nice contrasts itself in the forms of circles and straight lines. Christmas bulbs look odd to me without any snow.
Background - Very nice rich color in the sky. Its a little too blue though to the point of looking fake. I personally don't mind that at all. There really isn't much else to consider for background, so lets move on.
Camera work - The strongest thing here is the angle the picture was shot. The DOF is really good for the composition of this shot. The bulbs being a little dark might be tough to fix and maybe just as tough to process within the limits of the rules. Strong camera work! (I've been considering buying the model of camera you have)
Post processing - I can't see anything too out of the ordinary, so that's a good sign.
Overall - I generally like the shot. I think it would be found in a newspaper somewhere, although maybe not the front page. I would've liked to see a newer building but this older one will work. - Bob (Inspzil)

| You must live in the southern hemisphere. I envy you for that blue sky and the sun *sniff* ;-) A well done photo. I like the angle and the placement of the objects. -stephan |

| I personally don't feel that 4 little Christmas balls, one so hidden I almost missed it, is not festive. Good idea but poor execution. Decent picture but doesn't cause me to want to see any more pictures, much less read the article. Picture looks took crowded. Should have zoomed back - would have uncrowded or uncluttered pic, and might have shown some festiveness. PTL5 |

| Wonderful color in the sky. The bulbs are too dark and hidden. They should really stand out for this shot. This building isn't the greatest subject either. It looks a little run down to be a cheery xmas shot. - Inspzil |

| Only problem here is that the only things that look festive are the balls on the tree. The rest of the shot has a much more serious tone. 6 nards656 |

| The red bulb that is kind of the focus of the picture is somewhat obstructed and dark. But this shot has great framing and definitely tells a story. The sky is beautiful, too -- my absolute favorite color. muckpond |

| Very nice color and clarity, the angle on the "Town Hall" seems a bit severe though. DPz |
