I like the selective focus used, might be interesting to see the focal point on the manger as well (not sure which I'd prefer). Good lighting and composition as well.
Image shows the right reason for this season... The main attention to the scene should be the manger, but it's out of focus. Reflective surface is distracting. Image is a little overexposed.
This is an interesting shot. I think you probably should have a greater DOF if you're selling the whole product. At the very least, the things in focus shouldn't have their backs to the viewer.
personal viewpoint... I would think it would be best if Jesus, Mary, and Joseph were in focus instead of the wise men. Like the composition though, and it is the real reason for Christmas
I'm a big fan of a shallow DOF, but since you're trying to sell us the WHOLE set (at least I would assume so), it would be better if ALL of it was in focus.
