This would make a pretty card, nice work.

Really nice feel to this. Good job.

I can see this lit tree getting bullied by all the other non lit trees immediately after Christmas.

Thanks for the kind words, guys and gals

i think the tree is a little too bright but you did a good job on dressing it up!

OK Ela, I toned it down just a RCH ...I mean a tad. Thanks

Nice work, that RCH worked! LOL

I like the approach and treatment to the tree decorations. It's a bit confusing with all that light coming from behind the tree...the part of the tree the viewer sees would probably quite a bit darker. Right now, it's very evenly lit from our perspective. It's one of the downfalls to using a pic like this for the background...cuz you don't want to darken the work you've done. Nice job, nonetheless. Cool SBS.
