I see a story of a family putting special care on the Christmas tree and the symbol of the cross behind them representing the true meaning of Christmas. Beautifully captured and the lighting is marvelous.

A lovely shot. I like that you got the shadows of the people and the glow on their faces as they are decorating. I might have cropped the bottom just a touch so there isn't as much black. Otherwise it is a great shot - the tree is lit up nicely, there is little to no noise and it looks sharp to my eyes.

That turned out really nice, Lana.

That is just marvelous, Lana! The tree is very pretty, and the glow of its light on people's faces makes this very special.

Very nice image with all the symbols of Christmas... family, cross, tree, ... Looks like a Christmas card.
