 I'm looking forward to seeing how this does. Should be interesting.

I was not wowed by anything I took this month. And I've had this idea in my head for a while. So it did not turn out exactly how I envisioned, but it works for me this time.

If nothing else, I do hope that people find this funny!

Happy Holidays!

Oh man, I love this. The colors are so warm. I love the DOF and the flare of the beard and hair of the nutcracker. And it makes me smile -- a lot!

I love where your mind goes. :) Ol' Saint Nick does look a bit alarmed, doesn't he?

I really liked this - both the humour and the depection of the'dark side'. It may not have done as well as it should have, but I am glad you enetered it!

This is SO funny! I love it. Great lighting and set up. And just enough dof to heighten the anticipation!

Well it made me laugh (and feel slightlly ill at ease, this is the stuff that easily could give kids nightmares)

Love the dof you used and the father christmas is bang on in terms of sharpness and colour

LOL! Normally shots of toys/figurines aren't received well but you did a GREAT job personifying this. It's a hoot!
