Actually, I think it would be pretty handy to have a remote this big! It would be hard to lose and one could see it without having to put on reading glasses. This really is a cute and funny picture. It seems odd that in this challenge that the people who really did take pictures of odd gifts they received didn't do as well as the people who made up shots.

The flash seems pretty harsh, and is really apparent on the bottom of the remote

Holy moly - never saw one that big before - hard to lose it?

to much flash, and the background conflicts with the composition of the picture

I have one of those. Bought it for $10 at Walgreens. I thought it would be useful for my wife who is always losing these between the sofa cushions. this kid does look a little disappointed, though.

LOL! I almost got this for my girls cause they are aweful @ losing the remote. I love the expression you caught. since this is advanced editing I would have dodged the tree a bit to make the photo look a bit more evenly lit. I like that you chose to go with the more traditional "christmas morning" feel. unique for this challenge. good luck!

Quite the remote control. The on-board flash is never your friend, unfortunately.

I don't like the lighting but the facial expression is right on the spot.
