A scene from a stage set at Lagoon Amusement Park. My husband couldn't figure out what the subject was in this shot. I hope it works for this challenge.

This is frustrating for me because I love the image, hate the neat image though. I want to see the texture in those barrels and on the pavement, especially since it's a rough setting - the artificial smoothness from processing really throws me off balance. It occurs to me that maybe that's what your after. If so, well you see one person's reaction to the effect anyway. What I love about the image is the composition, with the 2 1/2 barrels in the foreground. I like this colors, particularly the pinks and lavenders and the green text that is framed by those colors. I like the general messiness - the forbidden sign, the post, etc.
