I really like how this one turned out. The coloring gives a nice warm feel and as you look over it, you finally notice the subtle (at least to me) shadow in the background. Very well done.

The shadow needs some more contrast to draw the eyes towards it at first, not as an afterthought.
Could this be sharpened in photoshop?

Some cropping to put the shadow closer to the middle might also help.

Good concept!

Are those stockings that are hanging? They need to be a bit more instantly recognizable as such, otherwise they're a distraction. I had to look at this a while to identify them. That quibble aside, this is good, and the shadow of the child is perfect.

Nice idea with a good feel to it. I would have rotated it so that the flu was vertical in the shot though.

Great idea, the shadow is subtle but stands out. I do think the composition lets it down slightly, the shot seems to be skewed slightly to the left and the colours don't seem to stand out particularly, and while I feel that was deliberate, I don't think it's an effect that works on something as bright and pretty as Christmas presents.
