My mind is melting here... what is happening at the bottom of this photo. It appears a second photo has been imposed on the first. The edges of the shadow make no sense to this aging mind. What am I seeing?
Curtis, you have to look carefully. At first glance you may not notice that the deck actually has a path coming down from the one above and then in turn curves back down yet again. If the lens was wider, it would be more obvious to see the curves. The more you look, the more you see in Phong's two images. I love it!

I see the descending staircase. What is confusing to me is the group of four men that appear to be under a shadow which makes no sense given the configuration of what is above them and the fact on either side of them is a perfectly straight edge that cuts off what appears to be on that deck AND cuts in half the yellow container in the shadow.. Colin mentions a mirror but I don't understand how that would work. Then the stool sitting in front of the four men casts one shadow on the deck (which is consistent with other shadows) and a different one within the shadow where the men stand. I haven't taken any LSD today so I know I'm not hallucinating...
Curtis, now I see what you are talking about. It is the first image. The image of the woman taking pictures is reflected on glass behind her. My only thought is that this is a reflected image shot facing the reflecting surface, maybe window, glass? Phong will have to tell us if he wished to reveal the secret, but however done, it is well seen and taken!
