A very good use of selling yourself to popular culture and a great example of commercial photography versus artistic photography. By knowing what is a common image you have captured an immediate audience. Well done.

First is your own reflection in the ball. Highly distracting and very much takes away from the imagery as all you can focus on is the reflective surface. I always tell people to be consciously aware of reflections and placement in imagery.

Second, I would have used a bit of tinsel as well in the imagery to show to your theme.

Good job overall though.

I like the technique and the image itself, but the Twilight-themed picture does not have any staying power once that fad goes away. It is a beautiful picture, nonetheless.

If there were a way to minimize the appearance of the photographer in the ball also, I think that would have moved the technique from a 4 to a 5. The contrast of the pale hands to the dark background also comes across very beautifully.

It's very well done, and only wish I could photograph that well. Excellent picture and great shooting, now to do some non twilight works these days :p.
