I keep out a nativity all year. So I don't think it is late at all. You did a very good job of editing the photograph. I love the brightness of the star. I am sure your very proud of it, I would be too. Thank you for sharing it with us.

Annie it is Never too late to show this scene. I should be a reminder through out the year of the True meaning of Christmas.

I like the background that you chose. It is so appropriate. Thank you Annie for posting this wonderful scene ~ Steve

I would never think about using something like this to photograph. I must say it is very neat looking. The stars and sky in the background makes it look real. As usual, very good job!

Annie,
Happy Eastern Christmas & Epiphany which is celebrated on 6th & 7th of January & as you have the Three Wise man~ Magi ~Kings among your figurines the date is exactly right. Beautiful atmospheric composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & razor sharp focus.
Susan

This is lovely! I like how you created the perfect night sky with the North Star shining brightly with celestial rays. I think you positioned the figures of the nativity scene in a realistic display. You handled the lighting wonderfully too.
