Oh thanks - you probably didn't know I'd see this picture. See if I get you anything for Christmas anymore. I was going to give you a Chia Pet next year, but nooooo - not now!
;)
On the one hand, I like the idea of the gift already in the trash. On the other hand, the trash is realy distracting. What bothers me more though, is the 'flat' nature of the image. You might try to introduce more speth through DOF, lighting or composition next time.
Those are really cool! You should have sold them on ebay - they would have made you a load of money. I like the gift a lot - this gift has the potential to be the stupidest in the whole challenge - I just wish you had a shot with them actually one, possibly holding the label. The background in the trash really doesn't work for me- it distracts a lot and makes it less humorous.
