Gift-Wrapped Parcels

This image caught my eye straight away because it looks so natural and traditional. It reminds of my younger days when we had a stocking with oranges and nuts inside. The addition of the oranges is a really goodidea and they are well p,laced with an added splash of colour. all in all a very well composed image with good lighting to showcase your parcels. thankyou for entering and congratulations on judge 2nd.

A beautiful still life and gorgeous wrapped gift. The use of black and white spotty paper has worked very well against the black background. I love the use of the flowers in the bow and the red ribbon adds a lovely splash of colour. Very well lit and a lovely striking image. Thankyou for entering on congratulations on judge 4th place.

A lovely still life image of a gift that is beautifully wrapped. the colours are lovely and stand out so well against the black background. The gift is well lit and i like the use of the reflection. Thankyou for entering and congratulations on a very well deserved 5th place.

This is a beautiful image showcasing the exchanging of gifts between the young and the old. It is such a heart warming photograph. it tells a story without being too busy. I like the lighting, it is cheerful and bright. The hands and parcel are so clear against the beautifully blurred tree. The use of the diagonal from top to bottom is really good. Thankyou for entering and congratulations on Judge 2nd place.

This image is so rich both in colour and texture. The light is highlighting in all the right places and the parcel is so sharp against the blurred background of lights and baubles. I like that it is almost one colour/tone throughout but the parcel still stands nice and sharp. A very eye catching image. Thankyou for entering and congratulations on judge 1st.
