Awesome hand carvings almost too much glare from the lights but I like it

Very nice! The lighting is a bit harsh but I love the full frame of your subject.

Pretty, some greenery would have helped this.

If possible, I'd bounce the flash here or use a slow shutter speed on a tripod to eliminate the shadows. A different crop might work well too, maybe showing more of the manger scene.

the lighting is off and casting harsh shadows in some places and washing out others

This is a nice subject and you got in nice and close. The lighting leaves something to be desired----the shadows behind the figures are harsh and distracting. Also, the grey background behind the cut-out angel just looks plain bad. It is very drab and there are the shadows that really stand out. Using a black background and positioning the creche further away from it would have provided a sense of space surrounding the creche. As it is it looks quite a bit cramped.

Nice composition but the lighting is a bit harsh for my taste, too many glaring headlights and strong shadows and it just doesn´t seem fitting for this shot to me.

Shadow behind Mary is a bit harsh. Good wood/color quality

I would have liked this better if the lighting weren't so harsh.
