I predict I will regret this. Shallow DOF in Red should be easy. However, I couldn't think of a good idea for this. A Christmas light entry right after the holiday season? I think I am regretting this already.

Interesting composition... I found the haloing around the foreground light a bit off-putting but that's minor. Skin tones are also a bit soft, not sure if that's your lens or the processing... overall, well done.
This is a creative idea, but I find myself asking 'why"? I'm just not sure what the message is supposed to be (and this feels like there should be a message here).
