nice touch, though the chair or whatever in the front left is distracting because its right at the point that is attracted by the rule of thirds.

Very good idea and yes it's the holiday smells. The only thing I would suggest is that one or two of the fruits be turned on their side or tilted. Your shot looks a bit stiff. The colors are also dulled by the lighting used. Maybe an odd number of fruit or candles would of added to the interest here.

Beautiful. Love the way you lit this. The background is perfect, but the little glare on the left could have been avoided. Also if you are really centering this, then you could crop a bit more on the right to make it equal on both sides.

Very visually poetic. The illumination of the bow in nice. Wish the wrapping were neater, and the book (?) to the left draws our attention away. Maybe a bit o light fro the side would help fill out the box, define its shape. Also I wish the box were aligned better with the edge o the picture, or completely at an angle to it.

I love the idea, but I feel the light was just a bit to much. It's distracting.

Pretty and clever, but imho there's too much contrast - more detail is needed in the bottom part of the pic.
