Lovely shot! I have a similar one from this year's Longwood Garden Christmas display within my portfolio. The light reflections almost look like snow...nice capture!

What a lovely holiday capture! I love the reflection of the lights in the window, like sparkling snowflakes.

Location
This was taken at Longwood Gardens, Pennsylvania, during their Christmas display.Time
Taken at dusk on a cloudy day, which allowed the reflection of the lights in the windows.Lighting
Natural light, no flash or post-processing enhancements were done here.Equipment
Used a Canon t3i with a 55-250 lens. Hand held, UV filter only.Inspiration
The Christmas displays at the gardens have been a favorite of mine since the 1970's when I was in graduate student at the University of Delaware, only 20 miles away. It was a great place to escape my research. I still enjoy going there; Christmas is a magical time.Editing
No post processing on this photo.In my camera bag
Two Canon t3i bodies, several lenses - choice depends on where I am going, extra batteries and filters.Feedback
The hardest thing was waiting for other visitors to get out of the frame, including their reflections in the glass. Patience is something I have had to learn when photographing, especially animals.
