I like the slightly off-center composition. Good lighting and color as well. I could see this as a holiday catalog image (though maybe not the cover) - there's adequate space on top to put some text in as well (for use in a magazine that is).
I can see this on the cover with Holiday 2005 in the negative space area at the top and bottom. I love the gold and red against the white. Beautiful detail. Nicely done.
