I agree this is good for the holiday shoppers! You have found something blue but the composition doesnt focus on the main subject which is the toy and not the box, just moving around closer to the front would have shown him more and got the TRY ME label out of his face. Also, getting rid of the Xmas bear on the left would have created a cleaner composition. Though to be honest, if you care about the votes then I wouldnt chose a toy, as they never seem to do well!

Flash is a bit bright overall and creates some flare on the TRY ME label, does your camera have a flash bracketing system? If so, maybe lower the flash output. I have the same problem using close up flash. Also, do you have a white balance setting on your camera, as the background seems a bit yellow, maybe play around with the white balance settings...Overall, focus is sharp and for it fits the challenge. I hope that you find this helpful!

This is inspiring for holiday shoppers. I've seen these little guys and they rock. lol. The shot is definately blue. I think I would have rather seen the hamster than the box the hamster was in though. The lighting is good, but gets a little bright on the round "try me" sign. Focus and clarity are just fine. Good luck in the challenge.

humourous, which is a very welcome change, it also meets this week's challenge,. More thought could have gone in tio the positioning of the object, and composition of the picture.

The flash is very harsh. Almost borderline Extreme.

the flash makes this picture flat and also some glare spots. besides that the picture of the box is not very interesting. might be better if you took the picture of the thing in the box.

Good focus but cluttered around your subject. The teddy bear to the left should have been moved out of the way and then zoomed out just a little so he doesn't look so crowded. Maybe angle in so you can read the box and see a little more of the hamster. He's obviously the subject, not his box. It's only there to tell who he is. Or that's how I see it. Just my thoughts. But is good focus and subject. PTL

Blue doesn't seem to be the main focus of the picture. The "try me" tag is the focus of my attention.

Cute idea, but you probably should have tried shooting him from the front, or at an angle so you could still see the toy. Also I would have tried for more blurring of the background to make it a more interesting photo.
