Help..I'm turning into an Annika...oh..the PAIN...

I've been reduced to posting digital camera pictures in this fine film
forum. Please forgive me. As a feeble attempt at legitimacy, I will be
also be posting it to the digital people.

A few clicks will expand the shot to the size of your browser window.
The picture could have used a bit longer exposure, as it prints out a
bit dark..the nativity scene is hard to make out in the left bottom corner.

As will be quickly noticed, much like Annika's shots, no attempt at
composition or artistic merit was attempted.

We eschew cheap attention getting headers.

I like the colors but find the FG silhouetes overbearing. Less would
have been more.

A strategically placed flash pop, just at the nativity scene could have
been very dramatic.

Bret does hit on some good ones, even deliberately.

In this day and age there is no place for subtelty...

I can see why you'd forego the headers .... if I posted crap like that
I wouldn't want anyone to see it either. However, even your weak
effort can be rescued with a bit of Photoshop magic:

If you send me the original file I can do it even better for you.

So..we can now see you in the crib..happy?

As an aside, wouldn't some sort of attribution be in order?

May lead people to believe the photographer isn't who it actually is.
