I did have phun creating this image for you because it is HDR, but even with HDR I wasn't happy with the nativity scene as it was just too bright, so I used the Photoshop masking feature to bring in a darker version of just the figures floating on the water and their reflection.
I have reserved my absolutely favorite photo from this years pursuit of Christmas season photos for Christmas Eve, which is tonight. I'll post it at 4:00 PM MST, That's 6:00 PM on the East Coast of the US.
Have a Phun and safe day and evening.
Don't be shy - leave a comment or email me. I look forward to hearing from you!

This is beautiful! I've never seen anything like it.
I love it! They keep getting better and better! Happy Christmas!
You've done an admirable job balancing the lighting and I know what you mean about the difficulty in toning down the brightly lit nativity. Love how you've included the shepherds in the distance, and the reflection is beautiful.
Oikein Hyvää Joulua ja kaikkea hyvää vuodelle 2011
