I am seeing alot of good ideas but just not good follow through, not that I can say much because im not the best photographer....I just think its alittle dark and bland.

I love the concept here, but there's a few things I personally might try to fix. First of all, the light coming from the box is a bit too bright, and makes the box over-exposed. If there had been any way to fix that, that might have helped... also, the overal color of the picture is a little bit too yelowish. Perhaps the white balance setting needed adjustment? Hope this was helpful! :) Very neat idea.

I really like this idea, but the orange colour cast makes me feel a little uneasy for some reason, lol

Nice, though I don't care for the strong golden color cast. I suppose it does fit the Christmas morning title, however.

The beautifully simple idea behind this is wonderfully conveyed in this gold-toned abstract.

Oooh, I know, I know, it's a new wireless flash! :) The colour tones are a little warm/brown, and could do with some adjusting. Crop is good.

very clever on a number of counts...yes receiving parcels from ebay DOES feel like christmas, also the light shining up from the box works well to convey the 'magic' of christmas/ebay/receiving a parcel.

Only minor issue would be that there appears to be a colour cast on the stuffing and bubble wrap (especially in the lower half of the frame) which to some extent makes the shot feel flatter than perhaps it should

haha this is awesome lighting but the color cast is not that great, this would look awesome black and white i think
