An excellent Santa portrait. He looks a bit ragged (as in tired) and definitely ready for a day off. But hey, he gets most of the year off!

I'm not sure the dof blur on the left of the charactor works for me I do enjoy the textures and the lighting

You know, Santa may run around the world in one night but, he works 365 days a year to be able to run around the world in one night!!! Fuel prices have been a drag.

Really love this shot, Michelle. It does remind me of a Norman Rockwell!!! Oh, Woman...blow this up and frame it! You really could be in advertising. :)

This score was FAR too low for this shot......

Shoulda asked Santa to strip and put a red bow on his whoha!!! ;)

If you could get the whole character in focus, that would help a little.

This image kinda leaves me feeling 'so what?' The technicals are pretty much there, but I don't see any real reason for this image to exist. Sorry if that sounds a little harsh, but I like it when an image has a little more...thesis?

His expression is so funny! Love the textures in his beard against the suit. Very nice.

different idea for the challenge but works well. This is a really good santa image, bumping up (10) :)

Waaah! It's the only day of the year you even work, dude! I give the photo a 9 for all of it's qualities, but I give Santa a 1 for running an elf sweat shop and then whining about delivering the goods one day a year. :P
