I love the softness of this - it makes the colors and the whole theme look so warm.

I like the mood of this a lot, except that the lowest object is too bright and eyetraps me away from the bears and the textures

Looks very plastic and overphotoshopped. Also the photo is lacking a point, some kind of a center of the composition.

Please post your editing process at the end - I love the classic, nostalgic look you achieved. I have never seen anything quite like this and it is just perfect for the subject and image.

Beautifully done, like a storybook scene!

Normally I don't like this kind of effect, but I think it works here given the subject matter- I could easily see this on a Christmas card.

This is my favorite in the challenge. That's the good news... the bad news is that I rarely pick a winner! My tastes seem to run toward a little different style than the majority of DPCers. I'm afraid you might get some low scores because of the painterly effect, but I love it and gave you a 10. :) BOL

This is a really nice picture. There is a light that is coming from the right that I am having a hard time with though.

Really cozy. Makes me want to nestle up and enjoy the scene. Lovely.
