glorious image!
That's so true! At least Christmas here was a non-event.
Beautiful scene, so full of detail. I hope the New Year lives up to it.
A wonderful scene, Ute! It is sad that so many have to live on the street.
Jolie scène complexe ! J'adore cette ambiance victorienne ! Bravo !
Wonderful image, Ute, so much detail!
Absolutely marvelous, Ute, Charles Dickens would love it.
Outstanding job! The one poor little boy really stands out in that happy crowd.
Beautiful image!
Cool scene
Very beautiful work
Beautiful image, Ute. Truly beautiful.
Excellent
It's unfortunately true that not everyone's having a happy new year. So those of us who are more fortunate should reach out to them, to those in need.
Richly detailed work, great overall composition. Thumbs up!
VERY BEAUTUFUL

Ein schönes Bild hast du gedengelt. Aber der kleine Kerl ganz links ist aber ein Geist, oder etwa nicht? Er ist durchsichtig...
Beautiful scene!
lovely winter town scene
J'adore cette scene de rue et les perso sont absolument fantastiques.. Encore une merveilleuse image ma cher amie !!!
I worked with people on the street for many years (and with homeless shelters, missions, etc), and I know many of these faces. The holidays are particularly hard for people without homes, or who live in shelters, because they are ultra-aware that they don't have what many people have. It's a cruel time of year, for them. So it's always nice when people give to the needy as well as to those who already live comfortably. (And it's nice when they give all year round.)
Your scene is a classic late 19th C Christmas scene, something out of a movie. You handle the costumes consummately, as always; as well as the placing of the people. And you created real charm in the snow and the old facades (and those big snowflakes). Then you have the homeless children---there's even one in the corner, way back on the right. They are left out, hoping for a handout. You did this sensitively, Ute. One hopes that all these happy people will stop to care for those less fortunate. A beautiful image, and touching as well.
Hello dear Marc, I thank you so much for all your marvelous and detailed comments, they are like a kind of medics for my soul, hope that you and yours are fine, I'm doing as good as I can, since my stand before 2 month (blood pressure down at 6) it's hard to recover, I thought that I had every thing broken, with that Osteoporose and Arthrose by old boones are hurting a lot!
