Holy Child

Description

This is a photo I shot of the nativity figures I painted on plywood cutouts for our church this Christmas. They are set up on the platform in the front of the sanctuary and lit with spots. I shot this in raw, adjusted in PS. This is my Christmas card to all of you, especially my friends in the 101 Photo Group and the Portrait101 Group.
May you all experience the Peace and Joy of the true gift of Christmas, the Christ child, God's gift of love to all!
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!
