Mmmm - cookies. I love this idea! Great concept. This should score really well - I mean who doesn't like cookies?? Great job and again, brilliant idea. :)

I'm sure Santa will love those!!

lacks in sharpness and the color balance looks very magenta. I like the idea your going for though. mabey don't use sucha reflective background for the table (the single plane) and mabey try lighting from above . the glass has all kinds of glares in it and so does the plate. that is the nature of lighting with christmas lights though. I do like the background but the single orniment is a little distracting. overall an average shot, 5

yuck...blue milk?

Great product shot. The cookies look very tasty = ) The milk is a little blue looking - might suggest a clear glass (if it is tinted) or different lighting over the glass. I'd also remove the ornament shown for uniformity in the background. Overall a nice job.

Nicely composed, but the lighting just isn't right for this shot. I think some soft light on the cookies would have made them stand out better. The glare off of the table cloth needs to go. Other than that, you had the right idea.

This photo captures the holiday spirit!! When the kids wake up early on Christmas day, not only are they excited to see all the new presents they have,.....but they want to know if Santa came by and tasted their cookies! The look of satisfaction of a kids face, knowing they gave something in return,......is priceless. :-)
Great Photo! Deserves Cover Page!
