The original plan was to have the subject be myself or someone else, but after a few practice runs with Frosty to get the angles and focus I wanted, it became clear that he was more than capable of being the star of the show.
I'm fairly new to photography, and this is my first ever submission, so any comments and/or suggestions are welcome and appreciated.

This is an awesome take on the subject... the cards and the sneaky look. Great bokeh off the Christmas tree... all great pieces that come together to make this submission really great!
