 A Disney figurine, I hope that doesn't kill the score.

Wife sprinkled glitter from above. Cloned out the bits above the hand and duplicated some of the shinier ones.

Shot with 2 Canon strobes bounced off the ceiling.

Not sure why, but the yellowish colors just take away from this picture. I am sure the figurine is that color, just that it isn't really interesting. The pixie dust is a good touch.

Usually I don't go much for shots of figurines, but this one is nicely lit and the glitter is a lovely touch.

I like how you caught the dust flying in the air. I can see why you included the leafy vine in the background, but I find with it overlapping the model it cramps the composition. I may have moved the elf to the right some so there was a bit more space.
