Well just started this Critique club thing so lets see how it goes, hopefully you like my examination of your picture :)

Well for starters what we have here is a decent picture so there is not very much I can say about it. It is very good in its simplicity and the girl is looking like she liked her present. And the lightning on her face looks good.

I must however say that there is something that is missing in the picture, something that says that *whooomp!* that I like to hear when I look at a great picture. If you would have made this picture just a litle more exciting you would have been able to get a higher score and I would have heard my litle *whooomp!*

Well hopefully this comment is helpfull for you :)

Good luck in future challenges

Very nice idea for this challenge. Light coming from the box is very effective, and adds to the surprise mood of the picture ... great job!!!

Nice experiment and the face is well lit. Took me a litle time to figure out the box and I think maybe there is to much negative space. Also I think that the face is litle to much sharpened. Fine image though.

Okay....with a small "kicker" light, or back light this could ahve been a fantastic image. Have a small back light helps separate your subject from the background, which is something this image definately needs to be killer.

Its cool that you are thinking creatively, but I personally don't find this type of lighting too flattering. But the shadows are gentle. Good work
