This is a Christmas card that I would purchase. All the elements express the season in a gentle and peaceful way. The lighting is very nice especially the way it shines across the face of the child.

Love the ambient lighting from the candle offering a low key style of lighting.
Great set up, focus, details which make up a lovely Christmas card.
Well done ;)

Totally lovely and precious. The lit candle cast soft light and creates lovely shadows. The construction of the scene is such a beautiful presentation. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

The baby in soft candle light is very meaningful and beautiful. I like the careful application of text so that it is there as message, but not overtaking the still life. I like how you used just the light of the candle partly illuminating the arrangement. On my computer it looks dark but that might be because I am currently working with battery power.
