The month of December brings holidays for many places, and many faiths. This brings all sorts of decorations to our world. Ordinary places are transformed into beautiful scenes, with lights and ornaments from the smallest, to the grandest scale. This challenge is to unleash your creativity on these scenes, and to render them abstractly! Submit as many times as you like, as I know that all the lights and shiny things will give you plenty of subjects. End date of 1-7-2011 (open to suggestions) I'll start it off with one from last year, and one from this year. Enjoy, John

Oh yeah- Normal image size restrictions apply etc.

Great idea John - and I really like your example from 2009 - would make a great Christmas Card :D

Hi John, : )

I believe the deadline has been reached for this challenge, since you specified the date as 7 January 2011 in your initial post.

Is it closed to submissions or do you have other plans / schedules for this challenge? : )


Thanks,

Yildiz
