Doesn't fit into challenge topic as no fear is shown

I would prefer a composition including more of what is on the left. The tree and only part of the bow are distracting me.

While I don't "see" fear in the shot, the title makes it... and can I say: Holy cow!! :)

Why bother entering a challenge when you're not even going to try to meet the challenge?
 12/24/2005 06:29:24 AM
Merry Christmas

So what the hell is this? Anyway, it's a lovely night shot for x-mas time.

Very beautiful, wish I was there.

Love all your lights..........I'd fear the electric bill as well!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 12/22/2005 07:28:30 PM
Apparently, NOT!

 12/22/2005 01:22:46 PM
Umm...wow they like to decorate!

 12/22/2005 12:46:33 PM
Didn't know this was a phobia :)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 12/22/2005 11:01:52 AM
Electrobillphobia - ah yes, I know it well - and I don't have anywhere NEAR the amount of light around our house. Cool picture, although I'll have to give more credit to the home owner. :-)

pretty funny....bizarre scene
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 12/21/2005 02:59:38 PM
Gosh, what a lot of lights. Too soft, and the large cluster of white is very distracting. Not really sure what the subject is here. And, you fail to convey any sense of fear.
 12/21/2005 02:53:50 PM
Im a huge supporter of a great laugh. LOL. 7.

had there only been atacky holiday challenge this year this would be it, blue for sure; however it feels shoehorned into this challenge. nice shot though.

I hope that guy made alot of money on this bet. :)

Cool photo, and holy crap those people sure invest heavily in decorations! How much does one light up choir child cost, much less 100 of them?

I do not, however, think this demostrates a phobia, expensive as it must be. A phobia is honest terror that paralyzes someone.

haha thats a funny title and so is the image
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 12/21/2005 10:42:56 AM
Works in its own way. Nice shot. Hard to resist not giving it a good score even though the image itself doesn't "Try to make the viewer feel the emotion of the fear."
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 12/21/2005 10:19:33 AM
OMG, where is THAT? This is a very amazing display, but surely if someone had a phobia about their bill, they wouldn't DO this, would they?
DNMC, but fascinating photo anyway.

WOW!!!

hahaha! I'd like to think the owner of the house had come to terms with this fear... If not, lawd help him! This is very nicely done, technically, given the source illumination and the basic editing restrictions. The composition is taut and vibrant. The busy-ness of it is appealing, for me at least. And it's nice to glean a chuckle from these entries, so a good score for you :-)
