    Default Christmas Thought

    I put this image together at home using figures from our nativity set. The glow highlights were created using the threshold and radial blur technique. Additional glow was added with lens flare. The stars actually began as the Dave Seerham snow action that was worked to hopefully better present as stars. The reflection is created in camera using plexiglas, and adjusting the opacity in layers. I wish everyone a joyous and blessed holiday season.

    Excellent! This works beautifully as a card. The work is top notch, every element comes together just right. I like the theme as it represents what Christmas is supposed to be about. Congratulations on first place.
