I am seeing alot of good ideas but just not good follow through, not that I can say much because im not the best photographer....I just think its alittle dark and bland.
I love the concept here, but there's a few things I personally might try to fix. First of all, the light coming from the box is a bit too bright, and makes the box over-exposed. If there had been any way to fix that, that might have helped... also, the overal color of the picture is a little bit too yelowish. Perhaps the white balance setting needed adjustment? Hope this was helpful! :) Very neat idea.
very clever on a number of counts...yes receiving parcels from ebay DOES feel like christmas, also the light shining up from the box works well to convey the 'magic' of christmas/ebay/receiving a parcel.
Only minor issue would be that there appears to be a colour cast on the stuffing and bubble wrap (especially in the lower half of the frame) which to some extent makes the shot feel flatter than perhaps it should
