Title: The Incredible Hulk???

Camera: Nikon D60 with Aperture: f/9.0, ISO Equiv.: 100
This pair of gigantic feet belongs to Lord Hanuman - Hindu Monkey God (sa:हनुमान्, IAST:Hanumān; also Anjaneya, Maruti) . It was captured in Batu Caves, Selangor during the recent pre-Thaipusam festival. I regretted not attending the actual celebration. It was touted as the BEST Thaipusam event in years!
Nevertheless, I'm really happy that I managed to snap the above picture. This is my top favorite picture. The sky was amazing. To get this composition, I need to find a nice location. There is a newly built temple next to this gigantic statue. The temple have raised stairways. So, I climbed up a few steps and keep on focusing my camera until I got this beautiful 'frame' of Lord Murugan's feet.
The Statue is really colorful! The body parts are mostly green in color. I really LOVE the natural black shadow on the feet + surreal muscular legs. You might ask "How does Lord Hanuman looks like?" Click here and see The Colors of Thaipusam.
