Outstanding shot! What was your shutterspeed and f/stop?

I love the composition even though what I think is the center of attention is off-center. It works nicely IMHO.

A bit of background on the photo, I shot it for the monthly photo challenge at LA Canon dSLR users group. The theme was bokeh.

This is nice. The "non-centering" is very well done. You daughter is still the focus of attention as everything is OOF and the OOF is very well done. The lighting on your daughter's face is spot on. Her attention is into the open space, providing the impression that she is enjoying something just out our view. Like I said, well done!

It is indeed a fine photo Bill

If I were to nit-pick I would suggest a little fill-flash would have softened the shadows on her face.

I love this snap. What a great seasonal pic. I think I am going to go with that as insp and get one similar of my 11 yod. I love the DOF and the look of the color lights.

I agree. I was having technical difficulties with my flash that night therefore all the light was provided by a city street light high above us.
