santa and the reindeer - a photo on Flickriver

            Macro Mondays 'bokeh' theme, one of the member's choices. This is one of my favourite themes but I found it hard to get a shot I was happy with, probably because I was both tired and busy with Christmas preparations.

The 'snow' on the ground is baking powder and the snowflakes are an overlay. The flash was directed from the side towards the background (a gold sequined make-up bag) at 1/64 power, to get the bokeh.

Santa is a cake decoration and the reindeer a decoration for gifts. They measure 5.5 cm and 3.5 cm high respectively.

Explore Number 1 (how bizarre is that, when I looked at Explore earlier this morning it wasn't even in)
