Absolutely love this shot. I really like how you've almost managed to capture two images in one photograph. Also, the composition gives life to the subject. Having the little elf staring into the distance instead of facing the camera makes me think he's deep in thought and taking in the world. Focus, lighting and color are all also fantastic. Really great work!

Creative and well executed. I love the magical story this photograph tells without having to show anything other than a plate and some hands! Also the lighting on both the subject and the background is perfect. I like how the background looks slightly desaturated, except for the pops of colour of the ornaments. Really great jjob!

Beautiful interpretation of the brief. But also photographically stunning. The way this scene is lit and composed just makes an absolutely beautiful image. Also, the decision to focus on the act of giving, rather than the faces really brings the photograph to life. Great job.
