 I want to like it, but it's so cold outside right now that I shiver just looking at it.

no.  Tree was placed on a marble slab.  I had some christmas lights surrounding the slab.  There's a 1/4 cto'd sb80dx out of the frame placed behind the tree on the right for a bit of separation + silver reflector on the right of the tree for fill.  Ideally I should have a light behind the camera just to add a touch of light to the top of the tree to balance shit out, but I didn't have that much room in the kitchen.
 Background is also xmas lights.

 Almost every time I'm there on a nice day, there's usually someone skating those steps in front of that stone bench, lol.

got a new lens for my birthday today.  50mm 1.8
 i'm using it on a D60, so i have to manual focus for now.  maybe if i upgrade bodies in the future i won't have to, but for now it adds to the challenge.
 
 1st shot with it.

Just look for the green dot in the corner of your viewfinder.  Congrats on the new lens.
 Nice pics, Burton.

There are a couple of ways to improve that.  I'd recompose the shot so I had more features from the bike in focus.  Try another mode than center-weighted average.  Spot metering is all I use until I start shooting moving objects.
 Speaking of moving objects:
