Manger in an alley: 6 (daylight) - a photo on Flickriver

             Round two of the nativity photos. After the great feedback from the first round of photos, I went out and shot four more photos which are now included in this second round. 

If you like any of these photos in the second round, please fav them. Your votes will help me which photo to use in my Christmas card this year. I'm very open to any criticism--positive or negative. Please feel free to leave your thoughts in the comments. 

-----------------------
Christ's birth into this world was very humble. We often forget that being born in a manger is something dirty and... well, an equivalent today would be like being born by a dumpster in an alley under the train train tracks. I hope my photo would shed a new light of understanding of what it means to be born in a manger.
