It's a bummer that a lot of people had to be so critical of Christmas ornaments for this challenge. I love the sparkly bokeh. Gives it a sense of magic.

Beautiful bokeh up top but would have liked to have seen that effect all the way down the left side for balance.Nice shot all the same.

The little old man is OOF i the colors are ok, but kind of dead in my opinion. The bokeh is ok too, but the theme and the composition really didn't convince me. Sorry if i was rude! Good luck!

This is very whimsical. I believe this could have used a hair larger DOF as I would really like to see the hat in focus too because it is really popping off the page and in my face. I am not fond of the crop simply because it looks a bit like a decapitated doll. Including more of the body would have improved this, IMO. You also seem to have lost the tip of the hat. While that may have been intentional, it is going to seem to most like a mistake. I am not sure what the thing is on the left of the image, but may have been able to tell with the deeper DOF. It is very distracting to the overall composition. With a little more attention to detail and a few little tweaks, this has great potential. Good luck! :)
