Jeepers! That's a lot of cell phones! Very well manipulated, Bob. It makes a pleasing pattern and a statement. ~Lydia

Thanks for your comments Mary Anne, this is Melbourne's Federation Square in the city centre and those thingies are overhead wires supporting lights.

Everywhere I looked people had cell phones implanted in their ear so I just took a little 'photographic license' and emphasised the point! ;-)

A little PS ... copy/paste/transform/horizontal and vertical flip and some patient extracting and transplanting etc. A little transform/Warp and 'canvas size increase and finally selecting the border area and painting the same (or close) grey background so as to make it disappear and leave the odd shape image.

A little bit of sillyness 'just to be different'? ~ Regards Bob

Oh my...they truly are everywhere. How did you do this? And what are those grid lines with thingies hanging from them running through parts of the sky? Are they electrical wires? Whatever they are, this is quite a striking image.
