"Especially for Her"

I like the elegance of your shot, maybe a touch too much blue tone for something romantic like this a warmer tone may have worked better. The only other suggestion I would have is try tilting the subjet the other way from let to right instead of right to left. The right to left is a little uncomfortable and left to right is a little more natural I think.

Happy Hanukkah

I didn't score this real well for several reasons. First the crope seems a little tight and the back ground too busy. I think the entire subject needs to be in focus for this to work without the base being slightly blown out. I think I would have tried shooting this from a lower angle it is the shape that tells us what it is I really don't need to see empty places for the candles.

This is a good shot, however after looking at it for awhile it needs something. Maybe another color back ground, the red feet and hands tend to blend into the back ground and keeps the subject from poping out. Perhaps a green background would have been better to give some contrast to the red and blue and bring out the green in the hat a litte.

This shot doesn't do a whole lot for me. It seems like it lack punch and needs more than just a plain whit background. Also which item is the subject, they don't seem to be related, at least to me. The lighting is nice and even though without out any blown out highlits and it is in good focus so there are good thinkgs about it also.

Okay didn't know how to rate this the first couple times I looked at it. But I like the humor in it, I like the soft lighting, although I think I would loose the picture of the man and dog, doesn't really add much IMO.

Harry Hangs for the Holidays

Harry seems a little soft, I know this can be a problem with ornaments because the way they are made and the detail on them isn't always the greatest. The shadow across his face is also distracting.

Nice even tones in this one, I like the balance and composition. Not sure if this is something I'd see in a catalog though with the dark background, something lighter may have made it appear more festive.

I like the star effects given off by the lights add sparkle and that holiday feeling to the picture. However I'm not sure what the subject is, the ornament or the ipod.

Cute subject. However, lighting is very harsh resulting in harsh shadows.

This is a little busy for me. What is the subject the watch or the necklace. The close crop at the top and heavy shadows also bothered me.
