Xmas photo

I would like comments on the attached photo that I am thinking about using in our xmas card this year.

Looks under exposed and blurry. Cute concept on the picture though.

It's really out of focus and underexposed on the little one. It's really not a very good shot because of it.

A little blurry to me

It looks like you were metering for the lights or on matrix metering. Try spot metering on the child's face if your camera has that capability

Out of focus was the first thing I noticed

Same for me but others had already mentioned it.
To the OP try using higher ISO to keep shooting speed up and use a narrower aperture (don't know which one you used) to get more of the scene in focus. I think the background needs work, it looks a little bland and looks like a slightly wrinkled blanket.

It's fine for a Xmas card, but from a technical perspective it does have some issues.

I did a little editing, though there are still issues with the photo. But, for a Xmas card......:

Try a Santa hat on your little girl good photo for a card.

I think the idea is cute but not on a sheet, indoors, out of focus.... why not go outside? in a nice pretty location and take a better pic? I am sure you can get a better picture of that cutie! one that is in focus?

Under exposed. Blurry/out of focus.... Cute idea.. But Maybe retake it, sharper, or bump up the Iso or lighting?

Thanks for the comments people. I like the edit you did KmH. Guess I will try shooting this again.
