Great little ornament, I can see why you snapped it up. Love the lighting that has come through on this with that dark green in the background and the glow surrounding him. Its made him really pop out at you. The contrasting colours work so well in this

Very nicely done. Excellent lighting exposure and composition. Good color balance. I laughed when I first saw it; I thought your title referred to the fact he was holding a pole!

Great shot of the wood carving of St. Nicholas. He does look a wee bit tired.
Colors are vibrant and harmonious. A pleasure to review

Your use of available light has worked very well here, almost looks like a cave behind Santa. He looks like his pack is very heavy. Nice focus and clarity. Colors are vibrant.
