Amazing. I'm trying to figure out the lighting here. It is exquisite and haunting. One soft box low camera right, an overhead, and one for the bg? I just started a studio lighting class and I'm fascinated by this image.

Is it weird that ubique wrote down what I was thinking???? (Hey you, get out of my head!) Like him and Bear_Music, I also thought those were people, gathered for sunset watching, and the group got distracted, chatting away about the meaning of life and the merits of soy chai lattes, while the one guy stood because he was the only one to notice that the evening was dying in the blossoming colors of the waning sun.

I also thought that leaf was some tiny bird perched on the side of the center branch...
