Default Photo of the Magic Tree in Columbia, MO

I took this photo using the great suggestions by DPS in their article about shooting Christmas lights. I really enjoyed it, but wasn't sure about whether to shoot Aperture mode or what... so I set my aperture for around f11 and waited for the light, and here's a shot that I made of the a local artist's Magic Tree in Columbia, MO. Please tell me what you think. I shot in RAW and it amazed me that each shot yielded VERY different combinations of colors of the lights even though they were the same shots.. does anyone out there know why? Only the blue lights on the tree were LED, the rest were regular tungsten christmas lights. Thanks!

Don't know about your question KP, but I love the shot itself. Got a real dreamy look to it. Thanks and Happy Christmas. PAUL

Are these evening shots? The different colors could be from the light changing in the background. You did a beautiful job of capturing these lights!
