Gifts

I love this image. Even though the focus is on the ominous wall of bear gifts in the background, this story is all about this lady. I immediately wonder what is going through her mind and it's a reminder that these happy celebrations aren't always so happy for everyone.
I assume this was a candid moment caught on the fly, so I understand there is a bit of motion blur, but that's the only area I think you could improve on photographically. Great job.

Beautifully photographed. The lighting creates just the right amount of shadow on his face, and the edit is just beautiful. It also tugs at the heartstrings and has an important message. I can't look away! Fantastic photograph - very well done!

This image is perfectly lit and really nicely composed. The lit tree in the background is also a really nice touch. Only suggestion would be to possibly bounce a little light back on the pine cones to bring out. more of the details there, but it's a photograph, can really feel the holiday spirit!

A lovely moment captured in time, I love how you've managed to tell a story and incorporate emotion into this photograph even without including any faces. It's also impressive how you've managed to capture the tree lights in the background without them overpowering the image. The only feedback I could give is that the hands could be ever so slightly more in focus. Beautiful photograph - great job!

This is a simply stunning photograph. It's clear you have a high skill level so I won't harp on too much about the technical details - though the lighting and selected aperture here are absolutely spot on. Mostly I love the emotion that has been captured here and the hope on the monkey's face. Really beautiful, could easily see this in National Geographic!
