This is really beautiful. The colors of all the lights and displays are wonderful. I think you captured the whole scene very well. The tree in the foreground is very nice in there as well. thanks for sharing such a good picture and a great story. What a treasure to have in your area.

This is a great shot, and an amazing Christmas house! I would love to see it brightened and contrasted a bit. I think this photo could really pop with some very simple Photoshop tools. This photo is worth it, and I love it.

    Thanks.It uploaded very poorly on FAR. It is much brighter and sharper on my computer. I was really disappointed. I may edit it just for this site, and repost it.

    I have noticed this happen when I uploaded a photo that was in RGB format instead of sRGB which shows more true on computer screens. Could this be it? whatever change happened I loved seeing it, and am so glad you shared it here.

nice shot. Really nice focus, keeping the whole scene in consistent sharpness. Great exposure, keeping the house well lit and the background dark. Really nice composition getting the whole house into the scene. I wish the tree wasn't there, but realize there was nothing you could do about that, without sacrificing part of the house as well.

I like people that go to extremes during the holiday season, I think every area has a neighbor like this, it is their passion

This is a beautiful shot of this Christmas display at their home. Terrific color and illumination, the detail in the decorations light up the yard. Thank God for nice people that do this. We have a similar house in Chesterfield New Hampshire that does the same. I can see their electric meter spinning wildly during the Christmas season.
