Tried a number of shots prior to this but just couldn't get the effect that I wanted. Then it hit me : I should snap only when the subject reach the pool of light pouring in through the thick leaves onto the path.
Ah, but then I also wanted a lady to be the main subject, preferably carrying a brightly coloured umbrella and walking towards the camera. Alas, time presses and no such luck. Maybe another day....
So had to settle for this shot and converted it to black and white.
