Car Wash! I should have guessed... usually with abstracts I'd rather not know, but this time it makes me smile because now I can not only look, I can feel and smell with certainty.
I could easily wax lyrical about how unexpectedly beautiful this is. But I won't. I'll just say it's so good to see something not bludgeoned into insensibility by the blunt instrument of the challenge topic. Thank you.
My eye first went to the large spots and counted 8, then I realized it was the "claw marks" up top that fit the topic. Extra pointage for making me look harder and think about it.
This one had me looking for the 7... and when I found them, I better appreciated the art of this image. That's always a risk with such challenges - people fixate on it meeting the challenge and forget about the art. Thankfully, my Where's Wally skills are still with me and I got to enjoy the beauty of this image. Well done.
