Photographer's Note

Saint Nicholas (270 - 6 December 346) is the common name for Nicholas of Myra, a saint and Bishop of Myra. Because of the many miracles attributed to his intercession, he is also known as Nicholas the Wonderworker. He had a reputation for secret gift-giving, such as putting coins in the shoes of those who left them out for him.

On on they send ,

A nice place to shop for decorations, i like the abundance of hanging objects here. you might also consider cropping the a bit of the top imho. but still a nice shot Adrian.

Hello Adrian.
No, do not crop the top! I like the way the bright decorations are framed above and below by the shadows. The photo has a good sense of perspective, looking along the tops of the three heads. Beautiful clarity and sharpness, a terrific night exposure.
Regards,
Andrew

hello Adrian,
I like this photo a lot, the tight framing works really well to emphasise the abundance of orgaments, shapes and colours. it must've been a difficul light, but you and your compact camera have managed it very well, the result feels rich and fascinating.

best,
Kristine
