Nah, they're not vintage and I didn't get them on eBay. I think pretty well anything goes for this challenge. Hopefully voters will think so too. If not, oh well, it won't be the first time I've been wrong about challenges.

I think it's the light which takes this image out of the ordinary.

THIS IMAGE ALSO MOVES ME AS I LOVE THE SOFTNESS RE THE COMPOSITION CROP AND COLOR BUT ALSO THE MACRO DETAIL OF THE XMAS BALLS RE THE GLITTER SOFT TEXTURES ON THE BALLS... LOVE IT AND IT ALSO SHOULD GET A SHERPET JEWEL AWARD AND JUST MAY ONE DAY DOWN THE TRACK AS IT BEEN A FAVORITE EVER SINCE I SAW IT...FROM SHEZ

Not vintage? No bought on ebay???? I am putting a complaint to the SC immediately!!!

Seriously many congratulations on the ribbon another of your truely great images. The composition is spot on and the duotone conversion is magnificent, giving the baubles a wonderfully fragile look to them without having sacrificed any sharpness or clarity in achieving a soft look about it

Thoroughly deserved ribbon....

Wishing you a fantastic Christmas and a happy, peaceful, prosperous and most of all healthy 2008

Great lighting and lovely tones. Very festive too and so this should be popular. Interesting choice of duotone hue, Christmas not often associated with cold colours, more the traditional warm golden / red tones of a roaring fireplace or something - however it works so well here. Well composed and not spoilt by any complicated distracting background elements.
