I was hoping to post this about a week before Christmas, but some last minute changes (light color, added mist on the water) led me to render it one more time. I hope you enjoy it and have a wonderful Holiday!!

This is one of my Christmas favorites, too. Beautiful!

"Currently Using..."
One of my all time favorites. Using it instead of "O Night Divine" Looks more realistic.

"Silent Night (Merry Christmas 2015)"
Howdy Ryan _ a stunning creation that captures the essence and beauty of the season. The 3D angle and light composition and depth draw one's eye to the center, the focal point 'the blue lit tree.'

"Beautiful"
This looks fabulous on an iPhone 6+ lock screen. The colors pop and it almost glows.

"For a year round wallpaper"
I wish for a pickle jar version with the lights turned off. I mean, just a nighttime forest landscape so that the trees on the background would not be any lighter or darker. I always prefer peaceful wallpapers with preferably a single color and not too sharp variations in brightness.

"Finally, the recent trend of grain is missing"
This is one of the few in a long run where the new love of hyper grain/sharpness has been toned down. I like this one a lot and I hope it's a sign of things to come.

"My new Christmas favourite"
since I have found Digital Blasphemy years before, bluexmas was always my christmas favourite. But this one could be my new christmas favourite. Thank you for your outstanding work all the years.

"Multiscreens!"
Yay, multiscreens! I understand the render time, but was afraid you simply wouldn't do the multiscreens because of it. Thanks so much!

"Woo!"
Yes, thank you Ryan! We're still within the 12 days of Christmas, so still quite appropriate and has been applied to my desktop. Lots of positive comments from friends and family about this one.

"Whoo"
Big thank you Ryan :) the multiscreens are just in time :)

"Multiscreens"
I'm sorry I wasn't able to post the multiscreen versions sooner. The single-screen was barely ready by Christmas eve and if I had rendered the multiscreen version first neither would have been ready by Christmas.

I started the multiscreen version rendering as soon as I posted the single but then we flew out of Illinois for Florida on Christmas day. The render was finished when I returned home last evening and it is up in the gallery this morning. Better late than never?

"Terrific!"
What a wonderful Christmas present for all your fans. I love the predecessors of this render: Blue Christmas in 1999 and 2002, Season of Light in 2005, and Yuletide in 2000 and 2007. And now this spectacular photorealistic work of art. Bravo! Great way to end the year!

"Wow "
Ryan, I've been a lifetime member for about 9 years, now, so I'm very familiar with your db library. I must say, this could be your greatest Christmas picture to date. It's absolutely perfect.

Man, this is outstanding! I'm hoping that the multiscreen renders come soon. Right now I'm using "Beneath" to get my winter feel, and keep the colours that I love.

Happy holidays to you and your beautiful family, Ryan!

Blue is so great. Love the blue in this scene. The mist looming in the trees is also very nice.

Wed December 23, 2015 at 4:54 pm

"Merry Christmas "
Lovely, nicely balanced, but it would look even better with a simple white star at the top, right now it looks like it's missing something.

"Perfect for Xmas 2015!"
The enveloping fog in the background is perfect for the bizaar weather we are having this winter. (Am in Maine with NO snow!) This image will forever remind me of the winter of 2015. Ever so fitting! Thank you Ryan!
