Dancing in the reflection by awefaul
Early one morning at the V&A Waterfront, Cape Town, I saw this women cleaning the windows of a restaurant with the harbour reflecting behind. This picture was the beginning of a series on the ‘invisible’ workers who work behind the scenes to make the experience for the millions of tourists as pleasant as possible.

Fantastic!!!!!!! Always you see what the rest of us miss … and you present it to such amazing perfection!!!!!!!!!!! It does look like she’s dancing!!!!!!!
Needs great perspicacity to dance a pane!!!!!
Great shot….
Cheers Lee
There, now see what you did! I had to look up the meaning of ‘perspicacity’ . Now I sit and wonder if I could find a situation where I can use it. Thanks.

Thanks Heather, I am glad you like it. As I said, this picture was the beginning of many pictures of the workers and I will post some of them soon.

wonderful reflections…puzzle for the eye…very nice
Thanks. I think people find it confusing because it does not follow any visual rules.

Brilliant…looks to me like she is singing an aria (though I thought the figure was a man before reading your description!)
Thank you. Although this is one of my personal favourite it isn’t very popular.

She does look like she is singing – wonderful capture – so interesting to the eye with all the reflections :)
Probably an Italian opera aria or are there songs about spaghetti? Every comment add something to the picture. Thanks.

Good eye, clever take – i like it.
Thank you very much. It is very interesting to see the pictures of the people who write comments on this picture. They invariably also have a lot of candid work.
