I'm having a hard time relating to this image, largely because it has been "smoothed" to the point of oblivion. Notice in particular how there's no trace of detail on the back of the glove, which is too bad because that's the dominant metaphor of the image, what the hand's doing. On the plus side, this is an excellent use of DOF; you have that right on.
Jeez...where the heck was everyones Christmas spirit...I thought this was a wonderful shot for the challenge and hit the idea of perspective perfectly (it transported me back to a time when I was 5 years old and I was being told that I had to be good if I wanted presents)
As for the comments about overdoing the NN...Well I think this may be true for a 'normal' portrait but I thought given the subject it added to the slight magical other worldly feel about father christmas
seems you went a little bit overboard with the noiseware. i don't see any kind off creative perspective. seems a bit of a shoe horn to me. sorry to give you a low vote.
