An evening stroll through the Hudson Gardens in Littleton, Colorado with the grounds lit for the Christmas holiday season provided an opportunity for some images. Image was edited with Lightroom, Photoshop CC, and Fusion Express 2.

A very appealing image that fully meets he challenge.
Your excellent composition is very engaging, all the elements are working very well together here. The dominant tree makes the scene framing it with its arched boughs and the fence forms a very effective counterbalance. The specks of red light throughout are so uniformly repetitive they hold it all together. The red tinting is in keeping with the scene and the season.
There are some small details that I think could have given your lovely image even more impact. The two small specks of yellow at the top ought to be cropped out. The yellow at the lower left should be cloned or hued out. I am of the camp that prefers the green in the distance, however, I think it is a little too bold it dominates the lower half, it ought to be subdued with some dodging. The whites again would be better toned back to something more akin with those above them.
All in all, an excellent submission, thank you, Sid
Interesting. This image held my interest. The more I lingered the more I enjoyed it. I think all the red worked well, implying the holiday season quite well. The hint of green towards the back of the path made me think there was something exciting happening further on.
This is delightful! I feel I could look at this for ages. I just wish that neon green string of lights were more in keeping with the rest of the image. It just keeps drawing my eye away from the rest of the image
The top half is awesome! I get a little bored toward the bottom though. I think those green lights might be pulling me out of the scene. I wish you could unplug those green lights without the threat of arrest...
I do hope you post your processing steps for this.
