This place definitely qualifies, but the shot is a bit hard to view because of all the lights and the size of your upload. Bigger might have made it more discernable.
Just a beautiful photograph. Excellent colors, almost surreal. Good focus and zoom and brightness. The only thing I can complain about is the framing, but it is a small point. Good work, I expect this to be a definite finalist. 9/10
you are right...too much...did you use flash with all this light?!? I wish there weren't as much red in this photo, i've never used filters before but i'd probably use one for this fellow, were you trying to bring out the green of the photo by making a green border?
Well apart from your border I don't see anything tacky.
JK - this is quite monstrous and must be a serious problem for the neighbours - and the national power grid. The Griswalds would be eating their hearts out!
Definitely is on topic, the exposure looks nice as well. You're probably already hearing this, but the border doesn't go that well with this. A red or gold border might look more at home with this pic.
Your border distracts me a bit, I think it doesn't help your photo that much - well, it gives another nice tacky element otherwise. :-) I was mistaken when I said for a photo that it was the tackiest decoration... Now I can't decide whether it was that or this one. :-) Yeah... and I think again I shouldn't have eaten before voting. :-)
Technical: fits the challenge well. I wish it used the full 640 pixels available! Exposure composition lighting all good, focus looks off but hard to tell with the size of the shot.
Personal: Great shot- would do much better larger!
