Hand-held camera without flash to maintain ambiance. However, this gamble turned my family's skin green. O, well, at least the occasion was right.
Original photo resized to fit specs.

I wish this had been larger, closer to the maximum of 640 pixels allowed by the rules. The little girl looks blurry, but I do like the star shapes cast by the lights in the background.
I am not sure how this photo represents oops. I am assuming from the size of the photo, that you are relatively new here. My tip for future challenges would be to try and make your photos longest side at least 600 pixles long (640 is max). The photo is also very blury. Perhaps try putting the camera on something during night exposures to stablize it a little or if its dark, use a flash.
It's way too small to see fine details. What I like is the background -- nice combination of leafs (?) and lights. Speaking of lights, I like the effect of the tight aparture.
