This shows a great deal of creativity and your composition with gift as main focus is strong. I feel the crop and "visual weight" is well considered meaning you gave ample punch to the diffused background but still kept us focused on the story of your image. Very nicely done. I would brighten the bow a bit more so that it sparkles ...dodge to brighten. Lovely festive colour palette too! A strong contender.

I actually think its fine as it is,and a simple enough idea in getting this,but works

Sometimes we as viewers can see when a photo was snapped and when a photo was made. You made this shot, set it up nicely giving a good story. The only thing missing is a lit cigarette in the ashtray BUT BUT BUT ...that is a very personal thought on my part! ha Lovely with good dof manipulation.

Funny enough I also think a cigarette would have given this a story,and a glass that was nearly finished,as if somebody had just left in a hurry,but still well spotted in getting this.
