 In 1977 I was four years old. It isn't Christmas in my house until this beautiful Reed & Barton silver bell comes out of it's box.

Crop, shadow/higlight +33% shadow, greens +10 saturation, reds +15 saturation, cloned out a branch beneath the bell and a weird shape on the bell itself, ran through Neat Image, then USM +61% , 1 pixel radius, 3 level threshold.

the ceiling line hurts this a lot. Nice bell, though...

I think the brighter background took some of the glow off your bell, but I still like the shot.

This is very nice, but I would have liked to see the "CH" on Christmas more plainly, and see less stark white background. Very nice idea. 7.

I really like the simplicity of this.. It would be nicer if the background were consistent, instead of darkening at the top.. Still a nice photo!
