great perspective on this shot. The only improvement I could suggest is that in the soldiers body you can see image noise so maybe running the photo through NI or even running a gaussian blur over the image to smooth it out. But this should do well and my critque had no effect on your score.

Great shot! For some reason science fiction comes to mind. Sorry you didn't use for a challenge but glad you posted.

Should have been in the Rhythm challenge, buddy! Perhaps it was, for a time?

You've given these lights a really creepy anthropomorphic character (I swear the nearest one on the right reminds me of someone I know). The vitalized (Frankenstein) effect is further emphasised by their dispersion and placement; as if they were a herd of dull, grazing cloven creatures ... cows, or maybe wildebeest ... something placid and easily pleased, anyway. And the herd allusion inevitably leads me to an appreciation of your title. Such a lovely game; thanks for the fun and mental exercise, as ever.
