 This was the most last minute of all last minute entries.

Got into the hotel at 11:50, booted up the computer, tried to connect to the hotel's wireless connection.. Poor connection. Sat next to the door.. Good enough connection. Went into Lightroom.. Found most recently shot photos... Christmas card photos from this week. Grabbed one, already processed. Exported. GIMP. Resized, sharpen. Upload. 11:59.

Whew!

Sheesh - he's a bit early! Poor guy. Great job - solid technicals, maybe some small comp issues - a keeper though! :)

He looks like he's been caught sneaking a look at the presents!

This is a good shot, but I think the white curtain to the left of the image is a little distracting and unnecessary. If the boy was just a touch to the left and then the remainder of the shot was cropped off I think this could have looked better.

Ahhh...a shot that actually uses fill flash effectively.

I love the bokeh that results from Christmas tree lights. His expression is too cute ... and perfect for the season! Maybe a bit more crop off the left ... that's just me being picky.
