Default Christmas Card... Yay or Nay?

Does this card work?

Like?
Dislike?
Need some tweaking (WB, skin, etc)?

Thanks for looking.

A little more seperation between his head and the dark background? What are you smoking? The hair is VERY well lit and has EXCELLENT seperation, and as for the head being "split" by the evergreens; the Bokeh took care of it. Sheesh.

I like the photo very much. I am a teensy bit distracted by the line of the wall and the line of the greeting card design at the bottom. but that is just me.

If we have to nitpick (which we do cause it's lovely) then I agree with the wall and the green line. But the fam will love it and that's all that matters

I really like this.

But I do not think it would work well with a card.
Just my opinion...
I thnk you could add a boarder at the top of some-sort to enhance the effect.
It looks like its a Private school or university ad. However I really like it, you probably put a great amount of effot into this and it looks surpurb!

However, his right cheek looks like it has a heart or a lip print on it that could be distractin



great job, but I vote no.

I like it as is. I would love to have a post card like that sent to me of a family member or friend.
