Winter Wonderland layout for a Sloped or Terraced

Photorealistic evening photograph of a two-story house set above a terraced front yard with stone retaining walls house on a sloped or terraced, 55 ft of street frontage with a 30 ft front setback, photographed from the public sidewalk at the bottom of the slope looking up the terraced front yard and its steps toward the house above, camera height 5.5 ft. The yard is decorated in a winter wonderland theme. Cold blue and white, snowflakes and birch, with not one red bow anywhere. It reads as weather rather than as Christmas, which means it still looks right in January when everyone else has taken theirs down. Decorations, in position: 1. The star: a loose cluster of white six-pointed wooden snowflakes at different heights, each one slightly different, catching light from nearby, 3.5 ft tall. Top terrace, beside the walk. Being uphill already adds apparent height, so you can go a size smaller than you would on flat ground and still have it tower over the sidewalk. This one works just as well mirrored to the other side of the walk, so if a tree, a slope or the way you come and go says the far side is better, swap it and swap its partner with it. What matters is that it is beside the path and not standing in it. 2. Sidekick, left: two flat metal snowflakes outlined in 60 icy white points of light, hung flat against a rail or a post, 1.3 ft tall. These hang rather than stake, so give them a fence rail, a porch post or a garden hook. Flat against something solid beats swinging from a branch. 3. Sidekick, right: a squat black lantern with thick glass sides and a flickering candle flame inside, sitting on the ground beside a step, 0.9 ft tall. Top terrace, right of the steps, levelled the same way. 4. The step lights: 2 of them, a line of short stake lights along a walkway throwing a crisp blue-white pool of light on the ground, no cords running between them, 1.3 ft tall. Both sides of the steps all the way up, then along the top of each retaining wall. Lighting the wall edges is what makes the tiers visible after dark, and it also stops guests from walking off one. 5. Roofline and porch: 2 of them, a run of tiny blue-white bulbs following a roofline, cold and bright against the dark like frost catching a streetlight, 0.2 ft tall. Gutter line and porch. Remember the house already sits above eye level, so the roofline is further up than the ladder you used last year. Shot at dusk with the sky still faintly blue, every lit decoration switched on and brighter than anything else in the frame, warm light spilling onto the lawn. Palette: #8FB8D8, #FFFFFF, #C6D9E8, #5B8CA8. Nothing floats; every piece sits on the ground at the stated distance. Scale reference: the front door is 80 inches tall.
