 My original idea was to set up a Canon Lens shot, but I struggled with composition and size. So I remembered that we came back with two and a half boxes of Mauna Loa macadamias. The containers were small and easy to position.

I bought some wrapping paper to be used as the backdrop & table cover, bows and a couple of garlands to give it a festive/holiday feel.

Took a number of shots and kept tossing them for minor imperfections.

Good focus and lighting, but it is too busy for me.
