Taken at the "Wonderland Express" show at the Chicago Botanic Garden. The lighting in the room wasn't great but this makes good holiday wallpaper.

T'is the season. However, the photo needs sharpness, whites are over exposed, the bottom is cut off, left border needs to be cut off a bit, the perspective is a boring head on shot. Might be good to use a different perspective?

This scene brings back memories....which is a good deal of Christmas, isn't it? This is a really difficult shot, given the usual store lighting. I like the presentation for what it is... a Christmas desktop. I also think you could have a really interesting "more artsy" couple of shots if you wanted to go back there. If your telephoto is good enough and if the area has good daylight exposure, I suggest that you try a closeup of that candy wreath alone. If you can get the candy wreath to fill up the screen...wouldn't that be yummy! (Pun intended. :) Or... my favorite of the gingerbread structures is the hardest one to shoot (natch)...but I like the buildings on the far left...partly because they have some nice foliage and partly because I like the really good look at the blue roof. Maybe a closeup there would also be fun? Everyone likes a new and different, bright and beautiful, holiday shot...and this one fills the bill well!
