Ok folks...

Give it your worst. From what I can see, I'd make 2 changes:

- Higher f/stop (numerically)
- Lower ISO (to reduce noise in the sky)

Just so you know, there was only minimal editing made to this. I adjusted the exposure up (brighter) by one stop, and upped the color just a smidge.

What say you?

*** EDIT ***

So from the feedback listed below (slightly tilted, green balance, cropping), this is my secondary product:

I like it. I think the WB may be a bit off. What were your settings?

I like the light that is on the tree. The lights are interesting. If it were my photo I might crop off the bottom some. Overall not a bad photo. The forground area isnt interesting to me, but that is just me. Nice job overall.

was freehanded or tripoded?

I don't really like it. I think it's a boring subject.

Technically, it has a green tint to it, I'm guessing maybe CFLs in the lamps?

Done on a tripod. I was freezing my arse off, so apparently I had the camera tilted just a smidge and didn't realize it.

Pretty good. Might have cropped a little off the bottom, I do agree with above post. And the tint is definitely off. But adjusting your WB might/would probably correct this problem.

I applaude you for at least posting photos. Sheesh more photos people!!!!

Jason, I think if your shutter was slower, you'd unfortunately get even more lens flare off the lights.

For what you were doing, looks good to me! I like the original better

Oh, wow. Definitely much better. Good job!
