Yay! I just beat my personal best, good way to start 2007. Hope to beat it again next week ;-).
I feel the idea was good, with a better execution I could've gotten a much better score.
Somebody has TOO much time on their hands. :D Cute! I think I would have lost the white thing in the back right, it's distracting and unidentifiable (at least to me). A white backdrop would have been stronger - or - if you wanted to continue the festive mood, try something like crinkled tinfoil or something? Just a thought. Best of luck to you in the challenge.
Good creativity. Picture wise, IMO, the break line between the table top and the backdrop is very distracting. However your dof is good along with focus. The picture is not very exciting but good. 5
