I really like the illusion of snow and how that echos the scene on the ornament.
Bravo! -- Greg Fischer

Nice picture Mike. Color, light, and subject together feel magical.

Really strong, Mike. Reminds me of one of Pablo's early pictures. Lovely composition and lighting. At the risk of gilding the lily, I'd suggest SLIGHTLY burning the right lower edge of the ornament and perhaps use a trace of the smudge tool at the same area to increase the sense of 3-dimensionality; looks a little "outlin-y" at present. But that's a nit on a truly dazzling photo. Erichocinc.

Ditto all the comments but for me... I love how you took a busy scene and gave emphasis to only two objects that directly related to each other, very crafty of you MFC! Mark J

Perfect title for a beautiful image! With this clever shot you have captured that moment when one thinks back on so many wonderful memories of Christmases past as the favorite ornament is hung once more. Thanks, MFC.
