What a fantastically surreal comment and photo. I love th little touches like the frame knocked out of kilter on the wall. Possibly could have done with being a little brighter but undiubtedly the work of a brilliant (if possibly slightly deranged) mind. - 8

ooooo I think we may have a ribbon contender here.

Wonderful sense of humour and captures one of the 'concepts' of ebay perfectly.

I guess the only thing I struggle with is the sheet of paper. I appreciate that it adds to the joke but in terms of the image I dont know whether it might have been better to omit it and trust that the voters would have got a more subtle message

Brillant!!! A great illustration of the concept of ebay in terms of shifting some truly ermmmmm original items from one lucky owner to another

Nice shot, but may have been worth going for a slightly deeper dof and also removing the item from begind this exquisite (and useful) artifact

Nice bokeh. I appreciate that you have gone for a softer shot but for my own tastes I would have maybe prfered it to be a but sharper

I love the idea of buying an 'origami boulder' on ebay.

Nice composition and creation of leading diagonal lines. Not sure if it is just because of the lighting but the colours seem a tad flat to me, which means that the shot perhaps lacks a great 'pop'

Yep, I know that feeling from buying stuff on ebay. Lovely and interesting shot that meets the challenge well

Feels Like Christmas Morning

Comment:
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
