Well done Mark, loved your shot as soon as I saw it very sharp, crisp and professional despite that it was tough call to vote as the standard was high with so many quality shots that hit the theme and a good turnout as well.
Up - Donero Santa
Really nice take on the theme, I like Santa as well I thought you had great focus and a really nice composition that drew my eye straight to good old Mr Claus, great colours as well.
Down - Jimmyosram - Stars
Great shot, composition colours and a nice touch with the Star my only very minor crit was apart from the star it was not obvious it was an Xmas shot but then there is nothing wrong with subtle (there you go talked myself out of my only criticism
)
Thank you to kezpock and mondmagu for my votes it is really appreciated.
Looking forward to the next challenge.
