Comment by indigo997:
My first thoughts on this are that it seems too dark and it has good focus. The lighting seems a bit harsh in the center while the outer edges are too dark. That does help lead the eye to the center, but once I get there I have a hard time making out anything. There are too many little things competing for attention. I think it would work better to have one brightly colored object to contrast with all the foliage. Perhaps a little red sailboat or fish or something else that would seem totally out of place. I would also even out the lighting and diffuse it to avoid the glare on the water droplets. Placement of the (is it santa?) is good in the frame. This was a tough challenge!

A lot of thought went into this one and it paid off. This is a really neat photo. It's a cutsey rather than a "wow" but I really like it. Nice humor and I needed that. I'd give you an 8 just for the lift it gave me. PTL

Comment by amonteforte:
This complies very well with the challenge and is technically well executed. The focus is quite good. IMHO the composition is overcrowded, and the abundance of elements becomes too distracting. There are at least 6 of them in focus, not counting the complicated foliage background, and I think 2 would have been more than enough.

nice lighting... focus on the man could be sharper though... and I would like to see more of the yellow eyed figure in back
