Oh no not already :) Nice pic, maybe a slightly longer exposure would brighten it up a bit.

christmas lights in october??? edit: i did not vote this down because of that, just curious. I don't like the picture regardless, it's technically inferior and looks more like a quck camera test, sorry. 5 - the lowest mark i give.

has this been validated? this is october, right? are these people insane? technically (leaving aside the obvoius psycho tendencies of the family in question) this shot is suffering a little because of the 640 pixel limit. because of the shape of the house, it doesn't really fill the image and all the details are a bit too small to focus on - i think focusing on certain parts (the lights on the steps, or santa even) might have proved worth playing with. it's a good find and fits the challenge, though. 4.

AAAARRRGGGHHH I don't want to see that yet!! It's too early.
I think the aperature could be smaller (Larger fstop) and exposure longer to get a better image here

Christmass in October? That is SERIOUSLY scary.
The shot does not attract my attention at all. I am affraid it will not score high.
Good luck anyway
