And a very merry christmas to you too!

Nice work. The star looks like a real decoration you could buy in a store.

thank you very much my mom used to have a wooden christmas star when i was a child I saw it many christmasses hanging.. I have no clue what happened to it.. the star was 3d and there was a lamp inside.

Nice work here....love the star and the doves. GL author.

Thank you very much George

Really stylish Christmas card, love the old gold glow

Thnx Cornelia ) That was what got me started with the star I wanted to use these nice light effects

Great use of your own stock and perfect for the season, GOOD LUCK!!!

Thanks Driven....

Congratulations!

Thanks Cornelia

I like this piece a lot, but I think it would be stronger without the text. That's just my opinion though. Good luck author!

Agreed about the text and the coolness of your clown.

Thank you so much for the comments ! For your information , this is my first ever contest entry ... Glad that you guys liked it : )

VERY NICE

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.
