Let me know what you all think.

I shot this in the dark with the lighting coming from the lights on the tree. That is what is causing the shadows on the wall.

Maybe it's me but the focus seems kinda soft. Processing is nice though.

What is that weird stick in the background hitting the ceiling and the back wall? Is it some kind of deformity on the backside of the tree?

Agree that the focus looks soft but good processing.

last spring my neighbors were cutting down an aspen tree so my wife took one of the branches and put it next to the TV (it was a big aspen). It looks nice while giving my cats something to scratch on instead of my furniture. And that was the only corner of the living room that works for my Christmas tree.

Thanks for the comments. I appreciate them

very nice, I like the shadows it casts. At first glimpse I thought it was a faux leather finish on your wall/

A bit over cooked IMO.

I agree, way over cooked.

When it comes to photographing christmas trees, over-processing often works.

Mosquitos are that big in Utah

In this photo I was trying for the warm fuzzy feeling of Christmas morning.
