I really like how this one turned out. The coloring gives a nice warm feel and as you look over it, you finally notice the subtle (at least to me) shadow in the background. Very well done.
Are those stockings that are hanging? They need to be a bit more instantly recognizable as such, otherwise they're a distraction. I had to look at this a while to identify them. That quibble aside, this is good, and the shadow of the child is perfect.
Great idea, the shadow is subtle but stands out. I do think the composition lets it down slightly, the shot seems to be skewed slightly to the left and the colours don't seem to stand out particularly, and while I feel that was deliberate, I don't think it's an effect that works on something as bright and pretty as Christmas presents.
