When I was young I enjoyed watching the Nutcracker ballet special during Christmas time on TV and being fascinated with the toys coming alive. For my image I envision a Mom reading the Nutcracker story to her daughter and the story coming to life before the girls eyes. Expressing the wonders of this season. The image was done with Daz Studio and I used Photoshop to add the lens flare. It took around 3 days to do after changing the composition several times. Thanks for looking and I hope that everyone have a safe and wonderful Christmas with your loved ones.
