What happened to "2", lol. I can see why you took this image, I too would stop and ponder what the heck is going on here. Nicely toned and composed.

This setting looks dreamy and calm. Has an Orton Effect been applied or have those endorphins kicked in by now and you've managed to captured that sedating haze via the camera lens? I like the anchor of the colorful riders in the front, yet the main leading line (the road) is supported secondarily by the trickling of riders - both carry on purposefully to the horizon. Six.

Comment by ubique:
I am a committed fan of pareidolia. But that's not enough to get a picture across my finishing line and onto the podium. It's got to be more than just a happy coincidence; something with a further dimension. And this one is. How lucky you were to find the looming face being oriented by the spray painted directions? Unless you spray painted them yourself, in which case it's instead how naughty, but clever? But I proceed on the assumption that it's all objet trouvé.

I suppose some would think pictures like this a bit trivial; just a gimmick and not 'serious' photography. I mean, you just walked along, saw it, stood in the obvious place, and took a shot. Surely anyone can do that? But photography is exactly that; being there, recognising what you see, and then using a camera. Most camera owners start with the third of those, and then try to incidentally add the other two. But that's ass-backwards. And the result is far too many very skilled photographs of nothing.

So I like this because it's about why we take photographs; to assay our imagination, and to stick out our tongues at the world.

I smash a yellow thumb across your bows, and I thank you and all who sail with you.
