Brrr. Very nice photo and really looks cold. No changes, very well done and the message is clear. Thanks for sharing.

The snow really made this tree a star. The lights shining through are very pretty and I really like the color and shadows on the snow covering the ground. Would try to crop out the telephone pole and I'm not sure what it is but something is making the lit tree almost appear to not really be part of the scene, when you sharpened did you only sharpen the tree itself? or maybe bring up the light on just that one area?

Nice shot, I like the way the light shine through the snow.
Color, focus and lighting are very nice. Technically good. Good initial impact. Nicely cropped and framed. Very nice focal point. Nice technique. Thanks for sharing

Good focus and detail.

Very pretty composition with the lights glowing beneath the snow. The lighting is good as well.I would probably clone out the telephone pole above the tree

It is so beautiful with all that snow on it. I bet in real life the lights were also just as beautiful reflecting on the snow. Focus is very good. Framing is well done.

Initial Perception: This is really cool idea, the only thing that seems to get in the way is the telephone pole coming out of the top of the tree - it detracts and robs the show. Also, the snow has a blue color to it due to the shutter speed or aperture setting - but it adds interest
