Not sure whether you all are familar with the concept of the Advent calendar, which is a special calendar used to count or celebrate the days of Advent in anticipation of Christmas.

Beautiful light, color, and texture; and such an interesting contrast between the dressy window and the mundane doorway. --Melanie

I love the lights in the display, almost magical looking!

I, too, remember Advent calendars, and this image certainly captures what they contain. I agree with everyone about the sharp detail of each item in the display. Great work, Franky!---deb

A really good shot of R1. Composition, details & lighting are spot on. I'm still struggling with my D300 to get this kind of quality since I'm so getting used to with the 'automaticness' of poing & shoot'...

Very pretty capture - I love the lighting, colors and sharp details in the view into the window!

Wow, those textures, that light. Fantastic.
Are you sure this isn't the set of a movie you're directing?

Yes, Frank, I'm familiar with advent calendars...and I like the window in this one. There's a lot to enjoy in that window too. Love the colors and lighting...great detail here. Everything looks so well-exposed,,,is this a multiple exposure combo? Nice photo! MFC
