Good job. How did you do that (the star shapes)? It is a little to early to be opening presents.

Too many star on her body maybee only one or to will show your object.

Love the effect of the "magic" sparkles around her, nicely done. The lights on the tree are distracting as the seem to harsh compared to the rest of the picture. Otherwise very nicely done holiday picture. Good luck

Nice idea. Seems static. This would be great if it could look a little more candid. Very nice, though

Lights on the tree are too bright, and the reflections near the girl are distracting.

I lke this pic. I'm a little confused how it meets the challenge "Compose a photograph and shoot it as if you were too early." What is too early here? Is it too early to open the gift?

I'm not so sure about the star effects. Nice image in general though.

Not sure I like the star effects, but otherwise I love it. Great work! Good use of ambient light.

The night before Xmas, I love the light through the xmas tree and shining on the figure. Well done

Blown highlights on the tree - try using a fill light to even the exposure

I really, really like this picture, but I can't figure out what's too early.
