No cropping... just got lucky with this one... the girls were on their way to school and were curious as to what I was doing up on the wall of the Water Palace. A second later, they vanished, giggling, as Indonesian girls from the provinces tend to be on the shy side.

Could've cropped this on the girls only, but there's a little "story" in this picture. The pools below are where the Sultans of old used to demand that all village girls, about this age, would bath, so that he could sit in the tower and play "Need 'em" "got 'em" for his ever growing hareem. That's what this notorious wading pool is know for in these parts... so the "whole" picture is significant in that context.
