Luminarias by Kaile

Old Town Albuquerque

Christmas Eve in Albuquerque includes the display of luminarias throughout the town. Old Town and the surrounding neighborhoods have some of the best displays. I took this shot at the Old Town Shop and Stroll earlier in the month, so it doesn't have the impact of the Christmas Eve displays, because the shops were all lit up.

Nikon D5100
1/4s f/5.6 at 55.0mm iso800 full exif

I love this shot!!! Lovely warm tones and perfect exposure.
Your composition and perspective are both wonderful.
Scenes like this can be difficult to capture and still convey the original mood, but you did a great job.

I actually like that there's feet and stuff going on at the top - it gives it more context IMO. The inclusion of the manhole cover at the bottom helps balance it too - for me, it helps keep my eye traveling back and forth between the top and bottom.

Well shot, but the stroller is where my eye keeps going...
