I'm kind of torn between 2 and 4. 2 looks like a creepy dead soldier laid out in the grass. Maybe that's too creepy for Christmas, actually. 4 is cool with the deer and all. But, 11 and 12 have a warmer color pallet which is more cozy for the Christmas period.

This really all depends on what this is for, but I'll cast my vote for 11 because I said so.

Well, you say it's for "Christmas purposes" then #7 gives me a snowflake vibe. Nice symmetry, cool frosty colors, and they way it's offset is nice.

#5 looks like a cathedral window, that could work for xmas.

I personally like #11 the best. looks like a long exposure shot of flying sparks

#11 looks like the bugs in Jesus' manger, I'm goin' with #5.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

I agree that number 5 looks the most Christmassy. It's very celestial.

For Christmas? 10 - it looks like a snowflake.

But I thought 1 was an asteroid at first.

I like 4 and 7.

pretteh...

12 or 7

5 is sweet too, but it's nearly central compositional orientation is a bit too typical for my tastes.

I actually had a nice emotional reaction to #3, so that's my vote, though they're all so cooooooool!

Thank you to all of you for the help -- I just had the computer re-render the winners at 4096x4096 and then took the final output down for printing and framing.
