 I'm sure this will score low because it is too far outside the box, but I love it. At a boat ramp near my home, a temporary fish trap was installed to catch and tag Chinook Salmon on their journey upriver to spawn. I went to take photos of the salmon jumping, but became fascinated with the shadows the bars of the trap made on the water.

When I cropped this section of the water I was amazed at the faces in the pattern. I darkened it a bit, played with "curves" in an attempt to add some DoF, resized and sharpened.

Very interesting effect. Once you start looking for faces, you find them everywhere. What is it?

This is very interesting. I'm looking, trying to figure out what made all these water shadows. 10
