fine photo

It's a long way away, which you had gone a little closer.

I can appreciate what you're saying, but the distance is exactly what I liked about the shot. It just seems sometimes that so many Christmas decorations are so over the top and "in your face," that I really liked the subtlety of the lone set of lights off in the distance with nothing but the empty hills for company. (Also, I didn't want to tromp through 4 feet of snow through the fields to get closer)

I really like the "pristine" undisturbed snow between you and the lights...

Fair enough, It's your photo, I'm just giving my opinion.
