Default Nativity Scene in an Eggshell

I work as a youth pastor, and today and tomorrow our church is hosting a 10,000 Villages sale. 10,000 Villages is a fair-trade organization. Rather than buy the crafts, I just took photos of anything I found interesting.

Here is my favorite shot. It's a nativity scene inside of an eggshell. Amazing craftsmanship on this thing.

Nativity in an Eggshell

See the rest of them on Flickr here. There is some really cool stuff.

Taken with a Pentax K100D, Sigma DC 18-200 3.5 lens. Edited slightly in Adobe Lightroom. Feel free to edit and re-post. Comments/Criticism appreciated. Thanks for looking!

Nice record shot if the nativity scene in an eggshell. May want to try a vertical crop and clone out the white line at the top right. Good exposure and sharpness here as well as with the other shots of this even on your flickr account. Thanks for sharing those with us.

Great shot. Good detail. I thought maybe filtering out the background.

Yeah, that background isn't the most attractive possible.

Thanks for looking and for your comments!

Thats awesome that your a youth pastor. What church and where?? I go to Shadow Mountain here in San Diego. Oh and the pictures nice too. jk. jk. I think just cropping it in a bit or clone stamping out the white line would be good. alrighty. Enjoy.

P.S. I love your music. It's awesome.
