 This is an 9-branch Menorah, also called "Hanukiah", lit at the Jewish festival Hannukah, also known as the Festival of Lights or Feast of Dedication.

No, we are not in the Hannukah season, otherwise I'd have featured the lamps lit.
This year, the Hannukah festival starts at sundown Dec 11 and is celebrated for 8 days.

For more info you can Google or check here://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanukkah

The lighting and the golden hues really make this image pop. Perfect angle.

You have a potentially interesting subject, but your angled point of view and the awkward crop really prevent this one from the hopes of a strong score. I don't know how I would try to shoot this entire piece, thus I would probably focus on detail work. I know that isn't helpful being that he challenge was nine, but without just shooting this one straight on and centered I fear is would just look awkward. 4.
