The gift

From my forthcoming Christmas card collection... 
Feedback welcome.

It's a bit too dark on screen for me to get much of a feel for it.

Agree with Michael. As a card it would probably be too dark to be appreciated. Great composition though.

It looks nice on my screen, but I agree that it might need to be a little lighter on a printed card.
But don't lighten it enough to kill the mood!

Fair enough. Better?

[Eric Myrvaagnes]

Maybe a little bit more?

[sdwilsonsct]

Sure!

And by way of diversion, here's another from last night.

Northern lights? Nice, whatever.

And the third version of the original post has just enough glow on the snow for me.

I like the third version & the other image. Should be fun to print.

Agreed on both counts.

Something like this...

My thought, exactly. The first one was too dark. The one with the northern light is fantastic as it combines the sky/NL and a rural landscape.

The first one was too dark.

Maybe because I am sitting in a dark room. Next sunrise here is around noon on January 2. 
I agree it would need to be a lot brighter for a print.
Thanks for the feedback!

delicate and poetic image.   Interesting composition, only a little right pending for its volume/trees distribution.
All the best,
