The unfortunate piece of machinery outside the window is a barbecue grill. The remotes just sort of live there on the coffee table :-). You're right, of course. I should have arranged things. But this was just a playing around grab shot. When I saw that it worked out nicely, I decided to share it. But I'm going to move the grill and the remotes and reshoot it. I'm also going to shoot a version without the chairs and coffee table for stock. (That will make it useful for ads, as an art director can put his or her product under the tree.) By the way, I'm going to stick with the blue. After a few days of looking at the various ways of "fixing" the blue, I decided that I prefer the blue version.

Paul, do tell me what is this piece of machinery just outside the
window on the left? And if you could just for sake of this shot remove
the pile of remotes from the table - it would be a great great shot.
Really great. As it is now - it is great in a realistic way. But
without this whatever outside the window and remotes - it would be
great in classical way.

My wife disagrees on remotes' count. She also tends to think the tree
is due later this year :). She's afraid, the tree will go bald before
holidays start :).

Happy Holidays everyone :).
