Beautiful tree, but its power diminished by placement--not quite center, not anything else. Think more dark space to left would have made it better.

agree.

Yeah would have to agree too. It's an impressive tree, just not a very good shot of it. Please try to upload a high res version whenever possible. It will help your overall score.

I love it, so bright and so beautiful!!!

living in a land of no snow I love this

The tree ain't really in focus...

The tree isn't in focus OR the main focus, the setting is the main focus.

Wow!!!

Unique entry. I think you could have got a better shot with a slightly different angle (see the glare on santa's beard legos?) but still a unique entry.

Thank you for the tip and for your nice comment

Very elegant colours!

maybe better less pavement and the entire tree.. but very nice shot and colors

Was following rule of thirds, so the pavement takes a third of the composition and provides a resting place for the eye.

I agree with Nikita61. I don't think the rule of thirds is nice here ... Sometimes you have to break the rules ! It should have been better with at least the head of the tree.

You do what you can--the top of the tree wasn't interesting and backlit by skylights. Thought the curve of the path leading to the tree was a good solution.
