very nice use of composition. I like how you used something that is reconizable and put a new twist on it. very well done, will make a great card.
you have a good image now, what else can you do with it?

very well done! I love the subject matter and the use of props. the image looks great and lighting done well. the catch light is beautiful. it looks like someone really knows what they are doing...thats refreshing. great job. I have this pegged as the top image in the challenge

Christmas Stockings

very well done! the background seperation looks nice and nothing is blown out. the subject matter is very interesting and the posing is done well for two of the three. the left most socks don't look to be very comfortable and it looks like the model may be un an uneven plane from the other two. thats ok though, this image really stands out in this challenge and I think a top ten finish is in order.

lacks in sharpness and the color balance looks very magenta. I like the idea your going for though. mabey don't use sucha reflective background for the table (the single plane) and mabey try lighting from above . the glass has all kinds of glares in it and so does the plate. that is the nature of lighting with christmas lights though. I do like the background but the single orniment is a little distracting. overall an average shot, 5

very nice shot and very well done. I would like to see the crop played with just a little bit, mabey no background just the watch and the snow. either way it's a very well done shot. the lighting is very diffuse and that is nice to see and your lighting ratio is dead on! great job 10

very nice high key image! I like most of it, there isn't much background seperation but that is a problem you can get into to. trying using another light to seperate the subject from the background and gain a 2 to 1 ratio. good overall, really stands out from the rest of the challenge 8

very interesting shot. great use of that flash! the black and white only adds to the shot. I would mabey watch where your placements are, it does look like you have a head growing out of your face. overall great shot though.
