Lovely. The effect results from each of the crescents being actual images of the eclipse, projected via the pinhole effect of small gaps between leaves. Pinhole imaging

proof that when crazy things happen "up", it's important to look down too!

Well, thanks for all your comment, i'm really glad to know that you like it.
It was not an difficult picture, but these effect is only avaible when on an eclipse.
What you see is the form of the sun when the moon was passing in front of it, then the shadow of the moon is reflected through the leaves of the trees

This is too cool! I remember the trick in elementary school was to poke a very small hole in a piece of paper and hold it over another. This was one of the only safe ways to view a solar eclipse. You've captured a truly artistic evolution of this childhood memory.
