This is one of my favorites, the pattern is really dominant yet your eye is drawn to the people, which looks panoramic due to the optical illusion caused by the pattern.

This is very stylish tv. Good in monochrome too. Julie

Thanks, all. And to Bruce, I like the barrel distortion too although at first it bothered me in a camera lens. Many years ago in drawing class we did exercises to learn how to see exactly what the eye sees, fisheye vision and all. It was a revelation to realize that the retina is spherical so we do see bowed lines except at the center. The brain does the rectilinear conversion, up to a point. -tv

Lots of patterns here, even the light posts and the steps form patterns! CJ

Excellent!

Yes the brightness of the whites makes this shot grab the eyes & the placement of the manhole is just right for a bit of tension. Well done Tommy.

Even better. A well done street pattern aimed right at the viewer and a behavioral pattern running in the background. -COAmature

Fun perspective. The cross-hatch amplifies the business of the people rushing by.
