Lovely photo! This would make a nice framed poster to put on the wall. Wonderful, hoe the light creates those shapes on the leaves. You've seen the figures and understood to photograph them to share the sigth with others. This is one of the main things photography is all about.

This is incredible Ina. The colors are so rich and the shadows are so deep. It took me three times to look at it (just enoying the colors) before I saw the people. WOW! They look like women holding baskets up to their head - or dancers.
This is fantastic.

You must have had a lot of rain there to have to hang out all those leaves to dry again. (just kidding) Wonderful light and shadows in play here. I love the way the light makes the veins in the leaves illuminate. Beautiful image. Cheers - Ann :)

Thanks for being so kind, Kathy! I could do better with a faster lens, spot focus, more megapixels, etc. etc. When it comes to post processing, it really deteriorates from the original shot. I'm not using RAW...yet. For this one I had to increase the contrast a lot, to make the figures more obvious.

I like how the light created this effect of shadow outlines on the leaves from the back to those infront of them. Rich colours.

Hi Susie, I use mine in P mode with a single central focus point (I really miss the spot focus - the Panasonic and all P & S have spot focus, this one doesn't). The Auto mode really has a mind of its own, LOL!

Hi again Ina. I never use auto focus...when I first got my rebel I discovered manual and have never looked back. I forgot that my camera had auto focus until my husband used it and forgot to switch it back to manual. Talk about wierd...like it had a mind of it's own!

Many thanks, Susie :) I'm having an awful time with my Rebel, it refuses to autofocus lately (it rebels!) - I know you have the same camera. Mine has been recently repaired. I'm dreaming of a 20D and a better lens for macros...

Thanks Kathy, I think it was the right moment, but the right camera... hmmmm. It's been repaired, and now it's playing games with me. The autofocus is spotty, and refuses to work lately, so I use manual focus. Time for a 20D I think... depending on budget :)

You are so right, Aram! Two rows of Muses! It was a strike of luck. I was looking for a branch like one I photographed a few days ago but didn't post, because it was a tad moved (learning from mistakes). So I was scanning the different leaves, and I happened in front of this one, and the sun came out at that moment. I would have otherwise missed it, by itself it wasn't interesting. The day was very cloudy, and the sun came out maybe for one minute, and there it was! Thanks very much for your great comment! Best regards, Ina

Let me disclose a secret: they are 18. Nine of them dance in the morning and the nine others in the afternoon on the other row of leaves. Their life is top boring: dancing together but alone in their incubator-like compartiments and for a few weeks before leaving their branch for becoming mouldy!...
Very nice shot, Dear Ina, the "Pattern-Hunter"!
Thanks for sharing.
